If he wants a billet wheel have him look at a set of Budnik's. There not cheap and probably the best quality and appearance out there in a billet wheel IMO.

Changing out wheels requires swapping fenders as well, correct? Or what is the size limitation based on stock fenders?

You don't have to change fenders as long as your tire height stays close or the same. You are putting a bigger wheel but at the same time you are getting a smaller sidewall. For example, going from a 225/50-15 to a 225/35-20.

Those are not Budnik Wheels. Those things are ugly Chinese wheels. Those tires with that series of tire will tow like shit no matter that wheel you have on their. There is no cushion. I know the old owner of that boat.

I work for Budnik Wheels.

I just went from the chrome wheels with painted fenders to the polished aluminum wheels with black inserts and stainless fenders. I had 15" standard tires with a 1750 lb rating. I had blowouts. I switched to 16" wheels and tires with 2500 lb rating. I wanted nicer looking wheels and I also wanted more safety for the 6000 lb rig.
I wouldn't put low profile tires on a boat trailer. They ride rough and beat the heck out of your boat. If you are simply pulling from a Havasu house to the lake they're ok. If you're pulling from socal to the river, stick with at least a 50 series sidewall.
IMO!!

Pm me a price. I'll put bigger tires on them. Do you want to trade for the torque thrusts that are on the trailer now?

The boat will tow 1/2 mile to the ramp.
