  • Will Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap Part # AM90086 Fit 15-Inch Rims on VW Trike
  • The Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap, part # AM90086, is intended for 13-, 14- and 15-inch conventional 5-lug trailer wheels. Since your VW Trike wheels are 15 inches and have roughly a 9-1/2 inch snap ring around the hub, these 9-1/2-inch center caps may work. I have provided a link to one of the 15-inch wheels we offer that this center cap fits. I have also included a photo of the wheel with measurements that I took from a sample in our warehouse. You can compare these to your

  • Improving Tire to Fender Clearance So Fenders Will Not Cut Tires
  • Looking at your photo, my suspicion is that at some time the the tire and wheel size of that trailer was changed from the stock size. If the stock size is known, returning to that size would fix your clearance problems. Changing to a narrower wheel/tire might help, but from the photo you provided it looks like the wheel/tire combo you are using is too tall, so going down to a 14 inch wheel might not be a bad idea. I would recommend going with a 14 inch wheel like part # AM22328 with a radi

  • I spoke with my contact at HWT about the S5 series wheel, # AM22658HWTB. He stated that the psi rating is going to be limited by the valve stem used.

The tire is rated for 3,197 pounds at 90 psi.

  • How to Determine Offset on a Trailer Wheel
  • The width of a rim is measured from bead seat to bead seat. The overall width will be a little greater, by about an inch, than the listed width. So if the overall width is 7 inches and the wheel has a zero offset then from where the wheel mounts to the hub it will be 3-1/2 inches to the back edge or to the front edge. Wheel # AM22692 that you referenced has a negative 8mm offset. This means the mounting surface is 8mm closer to the trailer. This will make the wheel further from the trailer wh

  • What is the Lug Nut Torque for a Wheel With the Improved Clamp Force Technology
  • The Improved Clamp Force Technology of the Americana Aluminum HWT Series S5 Wheel, # AM22330HWTB, does not affect the torque specification of the lug nuts. The torque specs are based on the size of the lug nut that is used. Since this wheel uses a 1/2 inch lug nut, the torque spec is 75 to 85 ft lbs of torque. A wheel with the ICF Technology has a seam in the bolt hole that helps the lug nuts grip the wheel resulting in a more secure grip to the hub than standard trailer wheels.

  • What is the Offset of a Trailer Wheel
  • Trailer or automotive wheels can have a positive or negative offset. The offset refers to the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel that touches the hub and the center line of the wheel, as shown in the diagram I have edited for you. A positive offset will move the tire closer to the trailer, while a negative offset will push the tire further away. Most of the trailer wheels we offer, including the Americana Aluminum Star Mag wheel you referenced, part # AM20305, have a zero

  • What is the Best Way to Remove a Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap
  • I spoke with my colleague who has been in the tire and wheel business for over 30 years. He said that the best way to remove the baby moons like # AM90086 is to use a hub cap puller, a tool that you do not see much anymore. Otherwise you would have to pry it off with some sort of tool whether it be a screwdriver or other flat tool. I had a wheel and baby moon together at my desk and ran into the same problem. This same colleague then was able to pull it off with his bare hands. He then rode

  • How to Choose Trailer Wheels for a 10000 lb Triple Axle Avion Travel Trailer
  • When choosing wheels for your Avion triple axle travel trailer, you will need to know the weight capacity of your axles, the bolt pattern of your hubs and the size of the original wheels. You should choose a wheel with a load rating that is equal to or higher than half of the weight capacity of each axle, so two wheels should have the same or higher weight rating as one axle. Keep in mind that you will be limited to the capacity of your axles if you choose wheels that have a higher load rating.

  • Can Trailer Wheels With Positive Offsets Replace Trailer Wheels With Zero Offsets
  • Most trailer wheels do have a zero offset to evenly distribute the weight of the trailer on the wheels, however, that does not mean all trailer wheels must have a zero offset. As long as there is enough clearance between the inside of your tire and your trailer frame to accommodate for a negative offset, then you will have no problem using a wheel with a negative offset. The best way to determine if you will have room is to take the first number of your tire size, which is the width of yo

  • Calculating Available Back Spacing of Trailer Wheels with Negative and Positive Offsets
  • The Americana Star Mag Trailer Wheel, # AM22691, has a positive offset of 5 mm. This means the mounting surface of the wheel is set 5 mm to the outside of the wheel from the zero offset mark or moves the tire closer to the center of the trailer. This wheel has 3-1/2 inches of back spacing at the zero offset mark which translates to 88.9 mm. Because it has a 5 mm positive offset you will add 5 to 88.9 which is 93.5 or 3.68 inches. The Americana Star Mag Trailer Wheel, # AM22692, has a negativ

  • If a Trailer Wheel is Rated for 60 psi and a Tire is Rated for 65 psi, Which Rating Should I Follow
  • There is a little bit of a contradiction here. We usually say that you need to inflate a trailer tire to the maximum psi as indicated on the tire. But at the same time, what about when the compatible wheel has a lower psi rating? In this case, it is only a 5 psi difference. Inflating the tire to 65 psi and it is very unlikely that it will destroy the wheel, and only inflating the tires to 60 psi and it is very unlikely that it will cause them to fail. However, the key factor is always th
