Replacement Options for 20.5x8.0-10 Tires With 5 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern Wheel

Updated 03/20/2023 | Published 03/19/2023

Question:

I have a 1996 tracker trailstar trailer for my 21foot Sun tracker pontoon. When looking for new wheels...I run into an issue of bolt pattern. Most that I find are 5X4.25 or 5x4.5. Mine seem to be 5X5.5. Odd?! Pic included. I measured from center of one stud to the outside of the next nearest stud. Would I be better off to just replace the hubs with a more currentinch set as I am unable to find wheels that will fit. Currently has 20.5X8 - 10 tires.

Sometimes the best option is to replace the hub when nothing is available that fits. In your case, we have a wheel and tire combination that will work perfectly so it won't be necessary.

The Kenda Loadstar 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire # AM3H454 is exactly what you need. The 205/65-10 tire size is the modern equivalent to your older 20.5x8.0-10 tire, and the wheel it comes with has the 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern you're looking for.

If you check out the picture attached below you'll see where another customer used this as a replacement for what appears to be the same trailer with the same boat.
