    I used the AR12b trailerpack a lot while playing and 0.20 broke most of the tires in the pack. What I would like to do is swap out the custom wheels and tires in the pack for the dually wheels on the D45, however my attempts haven't been successful. Any ideas?

    Easy fix, just the tire name got changed and you need to change the wheel to have the correct tire name in the sub-slot. Swapping entire wheels is not needed, you just change 1 line in the Jbeam file of the wheel. I don't remember what the correct new tire name is called but you can just take a look in the in-game Jbeam file of the updated wheel.

    Problem is from what I can tell, the trailers use 16x8 wheels and the pickups use 16x7 wheels, so the in game tires would work? I don't have a whole lot of experience with jbeam.

    The trailers also use 16x7 but for whatever reason they are called 16x8 in the mod, don't ask me why, I have no idea. Compare the size, they are exactly the same.

    So I should be able to swap the new name in with the old in the trailers jbeam

    "slotType" : "wheel_R_8_dually_gntr_ax1",

    "slots": [
    ["type", "default", "description"],
    ["tire_F_16x8_dually_true","tire_F_225_75_16_dually_true_ar162b","Front Tires"],

    Which slot would I put it in?

    I don't think this is the correct Jbeam file, there should be another one for the other axle

    In the axle jbeam there is this section
    "slots": [
    ["type", "default", "description"]
    ["smalltrailer_ax1_brake","smalltrailer_ax1_brake", "Brakes", {"nodeOffset":{"x":0.0, "y":9.737, "z":0.39}}],
    ["wheel_R_8_dually_gntr_ax1","wheel_R_8_dually_gntr_ax1", "Wheels", {"nodeOffset":{"x":"$trackwidth_F", "y":9.737, "z":0.39}}],
    ["gntr_ax1_spring","gntr_ax1_spring", "Springs"],
    ["gntr_ax1_shock","gntr_ax1_shock", "Shocks"],
    ["gntr_ax1_swaybar","gntr_ax1_swaybar", "Anti Roll bar"],
    ["gntr_wheeldata_F_dually","gntr_wheeldata_F_dually", "Front Spindles",{"coreSlot":true}],

    None of these look right to me but I'm not an expert

    Not the axle itself, the wheels for this axle, they have a separate file
