Tie Down Engineering 86264 Tread Aluminum Trailer Fender, 8 Inch Wheel Size
The Tie Down Engineering 86264 is a single trailer fender built for boat and utility trailers running an 8 inch wheel. It is constructed from 12-gauge (.08 inch) tread aluminum, giving it a durable, corrosion-resistant profile that stands up to road spray, debris, and marine environments without the weight penalty of heavier gauge steel fenders. The fender measures 7 inches wide by 20 inches long by 6 inches tall, sized to shield an 8 inch wheel and tire assembly from impacts, road grime, and general wear.
This fender is sold as a single unit and does not include mounting brackets, so it can be paired with whatever bracket style best matches your trailer frame and mounting angle. The aluminum panel is drillable, which allows custom mounting hole placement rather than being locked into a fixed bracket pattern. This makes the 86264 a straightforward option for replacing a damaged or rusted-out fender, or for building out a trailer fender setup from scratch. The part number 86264 corresponds specifically to the 8 inch wheel size version; the same fender family is also offered in larger sizes for 12 inch, 13 inch, and 14-15 inch wheels under separate part numbers.
