Well alrighty.... lets upload a few picks of what was supposed to be a few days off worth of work that I just keep adding shit too.... as I always seem to do 
Soooooo, one of the last things that I wanted to address was the shitty choice in wheels and the very low ground clearance... 4" seems like alot with the cars, but it just doesn't really work with the trailer, and if it bottoms out, there will be some repercussions.
Sooooo I had designed the trailer and axles to work with the BBS 'Vert wheels that I have, and that's how I set everything up. Running some crappy ass 8" wheels just wasn't cutting it.
So, how to adapt the 4x100 trailer hubs to a 5x114.3 wheel and space the thing out 1.5" to fit, remember that all the trailer wheels that I've seen are a zero offset, and the 'Vert wheels are 40mm I believe. So.... I looked at a few options. Hub adapters - have something cut that would adapt the hub patterns and space the wheels. A custom bit would have been more expensive than a set of wheels that do fit. Not to mention the designs of the ones that I did find, where much less than ideal.
What I decided to do was swap hubs, and get a real adapter. Jeep guys like to use stock rims, but with bigger tires. The hub patterns are the same. And finding a 1.5" spacer was easy, cheap ($30 a spacer) and it came in a few days. Here's what we've got, 8" wheel, new hub, and the adapter.
New hub installed
Spacer installed with loctite on the lugs
Yeah, it's a thick spacer
