When you’re hauling gear day in and day out, you want something that can handle the weight without a fuss. This 8" diameter by 5-3/8" wide steel wheel is built tough and rated for 1,100 lbs, so it’s ready for real-world use under load. It meets Department of Transportation standards, giving you confidence that every mile is backed by tested performance.
Moisture and road salt can eat through lesser wheels fast, but this one’s white paint finish is made to resist corrosion. The powder-coated surface keeps it looking clean while protecting the steel underneath. It’s a simple upgrade that lasts season after season, even when stored outside or exposed to wet conditions.
Getting the right fit is straightforward here. The wheel uses a common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern with a pilot diameter of 2.81", a wheel bolt size of 1/2"-20, and a true zero offset for balanced alignment. That means you can match it up easily without worrying about clearance issues or uneven stance.
This sturdy steel wheel is more than just basic—it’s made to meet DOT specifications for safety and consistency. Whether it’s rolling on pavement or parked under load, you know the structure is sound and dependable. It’s the kind of reliability you notice when everything just works right every time you hook up and go.
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Today we're going to review part number AM20016. This is the Americana 8" x 5-3/8" Steel Trailer Wheel with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and white in color. This wheel is made of a sturdy steel construction. Has a nice white powder coat finish over an e-coat primer the front and the back of the wheel. Gives you excellent corrosion resistance. This is a high quality wheel that meets the Department of Transportation specifications. The rim dimension on this is 8" in diameter by 5-3/8" wide.
Basically if you go to measure a rim like this what you'll want to do is when you measure the diameter you're going to measure inside to inside or bead seat to bead seat. Basically when a tire is mounted on this wheel the tire bead would seat right here on the wheel, so you'll measure inside to inside. If we go across you'll see 8" in diameter. The width would be the same way, bead seat to bead seat or inside to inside. You can see 5-3/8", so basically 8" diameter, 5-3/8" wide. The bolt pattern on this wheel is a 5-lug on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.
The way to measure that on any wheel that has a odd number of lugs, like in this case 5, what you'll want to do is pick any hole like this one and then go directly across to the hole right across from it. You can go to this one or this one. What you'll do is when you measure it, you'll measure your starting hole as you go from the center and the hole across from it you go to the outer edge, so the furthest edge. If we're going to go this way to this way, going to try to give you an idea of here. Try to get it on the center.
Then if we get it on the center should be able to see to that edge. Let's do it this way. 4-1/2", so 5-lug, 4-1/2" bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of 1/2" by 20. The pilot hub diameter, which is this large hole in the center goes over the hub on your trailer, diameter on that is going to be 2.8". The weight capacity on this wheel is 1,100 pounds.
That should do it for the review on part number AM20016, the Americana 8" x 5-3/8" Steel Trailer Wheel with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. .

Have purchased several times from etrailer for our large landscaping company. Always smooth, with good customer service.
Good wheels at a good price and fairly decent shipping. They have a good selection and user-friendly website to find hard to find wheel sizes. I would definitely recommend buying products here. I will be using them in the future if I need any trailer related parts. Customer service is A+
Great product, Great service and great price!
While searching for 8" 5 hole wheels that I need for a modification I'm doing I came across the etrailer site and found them within a few minutes. The site is simple to use and ordering was easy along with a quick followup saying they updated my shipping to a different option and the wheels would be here sooner than expected.
Couldn't ask for anything more, Thank you!
Just as described. The video on how to get the right measurement for the right rim was very helpful.
