Features to know about

Built to Handle Wet Conditions: Galvanized Steel Protection

Corrosion is the enemy of any wheel that sees moisture, so this one comes ready for it. The galvanized finish on the Americana 8" x 5-3/8" steel rim shields the metal from rust and salt exposure. That means when the weather turns damp or you’re operating in humid areas, the wheel keeps its clean, solid look and structure far longer than uncoated steel.

Confidence Under Load: 1,100-lb Capacity with DOT Compliance

At 1,100 lbs maximum capacity, this wheel is built to carry serious weight without complaint. The sturdy steel construction meets Department of Transportation standards, giving peace of mind that it’s rated for real highway use. Whether it’s long drives or short hauls, the load rating and certification combine for dependable strength trip after trip.

Solid Fit and Straight Tracking: +0.736" Offset Design

The +0.736" offset helps keep your setup tracking straight while maintaining proper clearance. Paired with its 8" diameter and 5-3/8" width, this design contributes to balanced handling and even wear. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in how steady everything feels once mounted up.

Ready for Easy Mount-Up: 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern, 2.8" Pilot

Fitment is simple with the common 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and a 2.8" pilot diameter. Wheel bolt size is 1/2"-20. Those measurements make it easy to line up with standard hubs without second-guessing what will work together. Once in place, you’ve got a tight, reliable connection built for consistent road performance.

Determining Bolt Pattern

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.

Center to Center
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).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Galvanized coating dripped through two of finished lug bolt holes. I scrapped it off before installing on the trailer. I would rate fit and finish of these rims to be "fair".
by:
Very good quality replacement wheel for our utility trailer.

Product is working great

Great rim for the price. I only use the rims to run my boat dolly on it's 2x4 track. Been using it for about 30 years hauling out a 26' to my current 16'. saved me alot of money.

I recently purchased a used pontoon that needed tires. After some research, I decided a 10 ply tire or load range E (LRE) would be best. Etrailer.com had the best price and they also offered free shipping on orders over $100. The tires look great and shipping was very fast. I will be getting all of my future trailer supplies from etrailer.com

Awesome heavy duty rim.

Thanks for a good product on etrailer.com
by:
These are nice straight/true thick rims. Packaging was perfect! I did have to wait a few extra days for a restock of the rims but no biggie. They were shipped out as soon as they came in and my previous orders from etrailer were all in stock. Just an fyi, the image of this rim makes it looks like a hot-dipped galvanized rim due to the duller color. No way you'd get a hot-dipped process for for the listed price. Watch the associated video or look at the 5 on 4-1/2 rims for a better representation. The finish is more like a shiny galvanized paint. It is a thick coat, and you'll see runoff points, but it seems well protected. I covered mine (after cleaning) with some cold galvanized spray paint so it would match my restored trailer that was also sprayed. The duller topcoat made any paint drips less noticeable. I bought the rims separate from the tires so I could install my own metal valve stems. I'm glad etrailer gives me that option. This was my third order from etrailer. All the personnel are so helpful and feedback is immediate. I couldn't find any other trailer site with such detailed information on their products and such great service! Three separate orders for me so far. I'm sure there will be more.
by:
Great wheels. Galvanized finish for excellent corrosion resistance. They make the trailer look way better than with the rusted, painted wheels I took off.
by:
I recently ordered tires, went to put them on and the old rims were bad in a few spots. Called etrailers up to see about returning them and ordering rims/tires. I talked to Kayla, she helped price out options/ returns compared to just ordering the rims. Within a few minutes we agreed easier to just order the new rims. Im very pleased with all my experiences with etrailer, the customer service was awesome; definitely will keep ordering through them.
by:
The rims I bought are better quality than most! The galvanized finish is so much better than the painted ones. The tire and rim combo I also bought are a really good value as well. The only problem I have is about back spacing. My old rims have an off-set of 1.5 and the new ones are centered. So the new galvanized rims don't fit because they hit the inner surface, I also have not seen anything on the web site about back spacing either.
by:
The wheels arrived in a condition that required sanding of the galvanized "slag" to be smoothened out in order for the tires to seat (not leak air) This was in the manufacturing process was the product was being removed from the dip. Disappointing but workable.
by:
Good quick service If who ever makes your wheels would center up the center piece of the 7" wheel they would fit more trailers because the deeper dish wheels hit the springs
by:
These rims are of VERY POOR QUALITY!! The "so called" galvanizing is very poor and in my opinion it looks as if they are doing this to used rims. I installed my tires on the rims and 2 out of the 4 were bent. I contacted e-trailer and they contacted their supplier, just to hear them say that they are all like this and that's just how they are. So this is what the consumer has to look forward to...I would never purchase these again and neither should you.
by:
Wheels look great and are holding air with new tires. had a old problem with some aluminum rims not holding air and these are doing the job great

Bought 2 galvanized steel tire rims for my snowmobile trailer,am completely happy with them

Do you have a question about this Trailer Tires and Wheel?
  • Fitment of Tire Size 16 x 6.5-8 on a 8-7 Inch Rim
    I can help you find the right rim for your 16 X 6.5-8 tire. According to our tire chart your tire 16.5 x 6.5 - 8 tires, also known as tire size 165/65-8, will have a rim width of 5-3/8 inch, a load range of C and a max capacity of 800 lbs at 70 psi. The Americana # AM20018 you also looked at will be great fit for your tire. The Americana # AM20028 8 inch x 7 inch rim you mentioned will not be a fit for your tire. The 8-7 inch rim # AM20028 you were looking at will not be able to hold...

  • Replacement 5.70x8 Wheel with a 5 on 4.5" Bolt Pattern
    I have a couple of rims that may work for you. The Steel Trailer Wheel - 8" x 5-3/8" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 meets your requirements with the exception of the bore size which is 2.80" on these Galvanized Steel part # AM20018 White Steel part # AM20016 For an appropriate tire the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.70-8 is a great choice. Load Range B part # AM10010 Load Range C part # AM10012 These do not come pre assembled so you will have to mount them or have them mounted at a local shop.

  • Does Americana 8" x 5-3/8" Offset Trailer Wheel Come with Powder Coat Finish
    The white powder coat equivalent is part # AM20016 but this has a zero offset so if that offset is crucial to your setup then you'll need to stick with the Steel Trailer Galvanized Wheel # AM20018.

  • Availability of 8 inch by 5 inch Trailer Wheel
    The closest wheel size we have to what you mentioned which would work just fine is the Americana steel wheel part # AM20018 which is an 8 by 5-3/8 inch trailer wheel with a 5 lug bolt pattern.
