Sourcing unusual size trailer wheels

After an unfortunate episode of trailer puncture last weekend, I want to get a spare for my decrepit, refurbished trailer. The problem is that the PCD of the 4 hole mounting is either 90mm or 3.5" (more likely given its age).

I can't find anyone selling 4-hole with a PCD less than 100mm. There appears to be a 3-hole size that is 88.5mm, but obviously that is no good either. The tyre and tube are fairly easy to get hold of, but few places will repair a punctured tube, so I could do with having a spare about the place.

Can anyone point me at someone who might be able to help.

Cheers,

Pete

All the wheels offered by Towsure are either 100mm or 112mm PCD, which neatly proves the OP's point.

I would suggest buying a modern wheel and having a machine shop drill additional holes in it at 3.5" PCD.

Bruce gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

A quick google on "4x90 PCD" comes up with Suzuki quad bikes as using that fitment. It's probably a total red herring...

If so, it must be worth taking an accurate measurement of the PCD.

Not a difficult task. Much easier than dowsing. ;-)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Bruce saying something like:

Flat face wheels are a bit of a rarity, these days.

Probably easier to have the hubs redrilled.

Tubes can be repaired with a bicycle puncture kit.
