    Just picked up this trailer and I was planning on using the same wheels and tires I have on my Jeep. The problem is they kind of stick out and look funny. I have 15x8 wheels and they don't seem to have such an "overbite" as they do on the trailer

    it's fairly easy to make fender extensions for the trailers.
    simply bend the same arc as the fender with a piece of sheetmetal or metal the same thickness as the fender.
    install them between the trailer body and the fender to extend the fender line
    in other words, it's just a curved piece of metal between the two

    I need to do it to mine

    What I did was had mine original military rims sandblasted and powder coated a silver color.
