Features to know about
Built to Fight Rust and Corrosion: Galvanized Steel Construction
Moisture and saltwater are tough on metal, but this wheel is tougher. The galvanized finish provides superior protection from rust and corrosion, making it ideal for long-term use in wet or humid conditions. Behind that finish is sturdy steel construction that meets Department of Transportation standards, so it’s built to handle real-world conditions without letting you down.
Confidence in Heavy Loads: 1,165-lb Capacity with 0 Offset
Hauling heavy gear or equipment means you need a wheel you can trust. This 8" x 7" steel rim is rated for up to 1,165 lbs and uses a true 0 offset for balanced load distribution. That even stance helps your trailer track straight and steady, whether you’re running short errands or making full-day hauls.
Reliable Fit Every Time: 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern with 2.8" Pilot
Fitment confusion is eliminated with this straightforward design. The wheel uses the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, a 2.8" pilot diameter, and standard 1/2"-20 bolt size. It mounts cleanly and seats firmly for a secure connection that stays tight mile after mile.
Solid Upgrade for Everyday Use: Steel Strength That Lasts
When it’s time to replace an old, worn wheel, this galvanized steel model makes an immediate difference in both performance and appearance. Its smooth finish holds up against road grime, while the durable build keeps your setup dependable season after season—all backed by a limited 1-year warranty.

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.
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"

Video Transcript for Checking Out the Steel Trailer Wheel
Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this eight-inch-by-seven-inch, galvanized steel trailer wheel, with the five on, four-and-a half-inch bolt pattern. Now, this wheel's a sturdy steel construction, has a nice galvanized finish on it, which provides superior protection from rust and corrosion. The galvanized finish is normally used in marine applications. This is a high-quality wheel, does meet the DOT specifications.A few dimensions on this wheel.
The diameter again is eight inches, and diameter on a wheel is always measured inside-to-inside. So, if I get our ruler and if we go straight across inside-inside, there's your eight-inch diameter. The width will be the same way, bead seat to bead seat. So inside the inside, seven-inches wide. Bolt pattern on this wheel's a five on, four-and-a-half-inch bolt pattern.
Does use a wheel lug size of a half-inch by 20. And the pilot hole diameter, which is the large hole here in the center of the wheel, goes over the hub on your trailer, is 2.8 inches. Weight capacity on this wheel is 1,165 pounds, but that should do it for the review on this eight-inch by seven-inch, galvanized steel trailer wheel with the five on, four-and-a-half-inch bolt pattern.

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.

- 8 Inch Trailer Wheel to Fit 18.5 x 8.5-8 Sized Tire on a 2,000 Pound AxleI looked for a previous order from you but I wasn't able to find one. I think I can still help you though. Your 18.5 x 8.5-8 sized tires fit a 8 by 7 inch rim. And since you have brake drums on your 2,000 pound axles they're likely a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. We have 3 options that fit the criteria in different finishes: Galvanized, part # AM20028 White paint, part # AM20026 Silver paint, part # AM20027 If you can tell me why the rims you find don't fit over your hubs, or if for...
view full answer... - Will an 8 Inch Trailer Wheel Fit etrailer 3.5K Hub # AKIHUB-545-35-KTrailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-K was designed to work with 13" to 17-1/2" wheels so it is not a good option for 8 inch trailer wheel # AM20028. We have a lot of hubs that fit 8 inch wheels and have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern but they use different bearings than # AKIHUB-545-35-K. If you can tell me the inner and outer bearing numbers of the hub you are replacing then I can figure out which hubs and compatible wheels will work for you. If you do not have the bearings available...

- Fitment of Tire Size 16 x 6.5-8 on a 8-7 Inch RimI 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...
view full answer... - Trailer Wheel with 5 Bolt Pattern that Fits Tire Size 18.5x8.50-8The tire size you mentioned needs to install on a 8 inch trailer wheel that is 7 inches wide like the # AM20028 which is galvanized to fight corrosion and has the 5 bolt pattern you need as well.
view full answer... - How to Determine Trailer Wheel Bolt PatternI attached a link that details how to determine bolt pattern on a wheel or hub to the right for you to check out. But based on the measurement you took it sounds like you most likely have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern since that is the most popular wheel bolt pattern. You can verify this by measuring from the center of one bolt hole to the one adjacent to it, if it measures 2-5/8 inches it's a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Replacement 8" X 7" Galvanized Trailer Wheels With 5 On 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern and 18.5/8.5-8" TiresWe have the Galvanized Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20028 you will be able to use with your 18.5/8.5-8" trailer tires. These wheels are 8" in diameter and 7" wide with your 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. While we currently do not have the 18.5/8.5-8" trailer tires you can likely switch to the more common Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 215/60-8 # AM1HP26. This tire will be 18.3" in overall diameter and 8.9" wide versus your tire which is 17.8" in diameter and 8.5" wide. If this tire will fit...
view full answer... - What Width Wheel Does Trailer Tire Size 215/60-8 FitThe tire size of 215/60-8 that you referenced requires a wheel width of 7 inches with the wheel you referenced is much narrower than. What you would need is wheel like the part # AM20028 which is the correct width and has the same bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches.
view full answer... - Will a 18x9.50-8" Tire Fit The 7" Wide Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20028?Yes, the 8" diameter, 7" wide Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20028 will fit a 18x9.50-8" tire.
view full answer... - Looking For 4.80/4.00-8 Tires And WheelsHello John, thanks for getting in touch. We do offer the 4.80/4.00-8 trailer tires. For that I recommend the Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10002. As far as the wheels, we have 8" wheels available in a 4 lug (4 on 4) and in a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. It sounds like you may be looking for a "wheelbarrow" style wheel which is not something we carry. We do trailer tires only. Any modern 8" wheel will have 4 or 5 lug holes and a center pilot hole. Here are the options we have: 4...
view full answer... - Recommended Tire for a 8" x 7" RimHey Mike. The 18x8.50-8 Kenda K389 Hole-N-1 Bias Golf Cart Tire item # AM40537 is the only one we have available that will fit the 8" x 7" Steel Trailer Wheel item # AM20027. The 18x8.50-8 Kenda item # AM40537 is a load range B bias ply tire with a 815 lbs. The 8" x 7" Steel Trailer Wheel item # AM20027 has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, 0 offset, and a 2.8" pilot diameter. We also have it in Galvanized item # AM20028 and White item # AM20026. Please note that these wheels do not come with...
view full answer... - Backspacing of the Americana Steel Trailer Wheel On a wheel like the part # AM20028 that has a zero offset it is easy to determine the backspacing. This rim is 7 inches wide so you would need to add 1 inch for the inboard and outboard flanges and then divide by two to determine the backspacing. So this rim has backspacing of 4 inches.
view full answer... - Recommendation For Golf Cart Rims For 18.5x8.5-8 TiresBased on your information, it sounds like you have a 7 inch rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. For rims, I recommend the Americana Steel Trailer Wheel, Item # AM20028, that you reference. It is a solid center wheel with a nice galvanized finish and a weight capacity of 1,165-lbs. If you would be interested in a tire and wheel combo, I recommend the Kenda 215/60-8, Item # AM3H323, which is the same size and capacity. Tire sizing has changed so the older size of 18.5x8.5-8 is now 215/60-8...
view full answer... - Availability of Galvanized Wheel for Tire Size 215/60-8Your tire size requires a 7 inch wide wheel so for a galvanized wheel with the correct size and bolt pattern you'd want the part # AM20028.
view full answer... - Galvanized Trailer Wheel Recommendation for Use with Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire 215/60-8We have a galvanized wheel part # AM20028 that will work great with the Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1HP28 that you referenced but we do not have this pre-mounted. Best option is to take the tire and wheel to a shop near you who can mount them for you.
view full answer... - Trailer Wheel that Can Fit Tire Size 4.80-8We have trailer wheels that fit the tire size you mentioned of 4.80-8 with the part # AM20028 for a galvanized wheel that has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern or the # AM20013 that has a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern. If you can get me the length of the axle you have and the distance between the spring centers I can see if we have a replacement that would work.
view full answer... - 15 inch Wheel with ST205-75R15 Tire RecommendationThe Taskmaster Wheel and Tire part # MX97FR should work well for you as it has a rim with a 15 inch diameter and has a tire that is sized ST205-75R15. It also has a capacity of 2,150 lbs at 65 psi per wheel/tire so it would have plenty of capacity for your setup.
view full answer... - Availability of 215/60-8 Tire Mounted to 8 x 7 Galvanized 5 on 4-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern WheelI'm assuming you're speaking of the Kenda # AM1HP26 and the # AM20028 wheel. We offer that tire mounted on the wheel as part # AM3H320. Once mounted on the 8 x 7 /5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern galvanized wheel, the Load Range C 215/60-8 bias ply tire has a load capacity of 935 lbs per tire/1870 lbs per axle when correctly inflated to 50 PSI. I've linked to a video description of the # AM3H320 wheel/tire combo.
