Do Both 6 Lug 15 Inch Wheels and 6 Lug 16 Inch Wheels Have the Same Spacing for a Trailer
Question:
does a 16 inch 6 lug have same bolt pattern as a 15 inch 6 lug
asked by: Tony W
Helpful Expert Reply:
The vast majority of trailer wheels with a 6 bolt lug pattern will have a spacing of 5-1/2" whether that be on a 15" or 16" diameter wheel. However, in order to be certain you can measure which is pretty easy to do using the attached help article. If you are swapping out your 15" wheels for 16" wheels then you will need to also make sure you have additional clearance as well, 4" between the top of the tire and bottom of the fender is recommended. I have attach our 16" wheel selection with 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern for you as well.
