Welcome, we're going to need bigger (and more) pictures to give meaningful comments (old eyes syndrome
 ) You might want to look through some of the projects builds and see what was done on others, I use 600 x 16 NDT's, this is not original but I wanted to match the tires on the Jeep. These originally came with passenger car tread (same size). And if you're not aware of it, this site has some really good info http://bantamt3c.com/index.htm

Finally started tearing my trailer down to get the sheet metal repaired and get the whole thing media blasted....
Wow, once flipped over things got somewhat worse.....Found some severe rust and some holes in the frame rails on the end of the angle pieces where they bolt onto into the rest of the trailer..pics to follow... Almost all the nuts on the bottom are simply corroded down to next to nothing...it has made taking it apart difficult... Once i have the suspension off and the axle off, I will be taking the springs to a local spring shop to have them rework them and to check them out... Anything I need to know about pulling the bolts out of the springs...are they under alot of tension?

Looks like a good little trailer. The springs and bearings hubs etc. are the same as front 2A!
