The internal clearance is pretty much the same with the Pinz tire vs. the LR tire -- spacing to hydraulic brake hose.
Although I could have pushed the spacer thickness down by ~1" and still cleared, but I rounded up rather than
down to be safe.

Ironically this Sankey-3 trailer is refereed to as a "Wide Track", still narrower than a Pinz.
Sankey Width = 1,676mm, Pinz = 1,760mm. The LR wheels have a relatively shallow offset vs the Pinz,
max LR size is 7.5"x16. I am also running the wide 8" Beck wheels on the Pinz.

Finding replacement tires for this trailer was not easy to come by.

The prior owner threw a fit when he saw how nice this trailer cleaned up :mrgreen:
Although he did get a pretty penny for it :(
