There were about 2 topics on this in the last month if you look through the Boats forum. You would have to provide a pic of the trailer as different manufacturers put the Malibu logo on the trailer. Trailer manufacturers seem to change throughout the country.

Malibu doesn't make trailers.

Our 2010 Axis came on a Boatmate trailer with 18"x9", 5x4.5" lug pattern, +10mm offset Gear 711mb alloy wheels. The tires are Nexen radials 255/45ZR18.
The 18" Nexen tires have approximately the same outside diameter as the 205/75R14 standard tires mounted on 14"x6" standard steel trailer wheels.
