When you’re running near water or through weather, corrosion is the enemy. This 15" steel wheel fights back with a galvanized finish that seals out rust and holds up to repeated use in wet or humid environments. The sturdy steel construction and 8-spoke pattern give it reliable strength while keeping a clean, classic look that stays sharp season after season.
Heavy hauls need solid support. This wheel is rated for 2,830 lbs and uses a true zero offset so the load sits centered over the hub. That balance helps keep handling consistent and even across the axle, whether you’re towing short trips or stacked for long distances on the highway. Each wheel meets Department of Transportation standards for dependable performance you can count on.
No guesswork here—this wheel uses a common 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and a 4.27" pilot diameter. It centers on the wheel studs, so small differences in hub diameter don’t throw off installation. The 1/2"-20 bolt size fits standard trailer hardware, making swaps or replacements simple when it’s time to freshen up your setup.
The 15" x 6" rim width gives you flexibility for popular tire sizes, including ST225/75R15. That means it’s easy to pair this wheel with high-capacity radial options when you’re setting up for heavier loads or long hauls through heat and rough conditions. It’s a straightforward way to keep your trailer rolling strong and looking sharp with proven hardware built to last.
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"

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we take a look at this Americana 15-inch by 6-inch galvanized spoke design steel trailer wheel with a six on 5-1/2-inch bolt pattern. Now this tire wheel assembly is designed for use in marine applications like on your boat trailer. The wheel itself is a sturdy steel construction and it has the multi-spoke design to it. This does have a galvanized finish on the wheel and this will protect the wheel from rust and corrosion when you're unloading your boat in the water. Now the galvanized finish is not the best looking finish, but it is the best finish for protection.
The wheel is a high-quality wheel, does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications. Now if you notice, this wheel does not include a center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately on a website. You do wanna get one that will have the same diameter as this pilot hole here. 'Cause when you install that center cap, it goes through the hole.
The diameter on this pilot hole is 4.27-inches. A few measurements on the wheel. The diameter we're gonna measure is measured inside to inside, and when you measure it, what you're measuring basically is the bead seats. In other words, when your tire is mounted on here, the beads of the tire are gonna seat right here. So the diameter is always gonna be measured bead seat to bead seat.
So again, if we take our tape measure and if we go inside to inside, there's your 15-inch diameter. The width will be the same way. It's gonna be bead seat to bead seat. So inside to inside. There's your 6-inch width.
Bolt pattern on this wheel is a six on 5-1/2-inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel like this, that's an even number of lugs. It's pretty easy because your lug holes will line up exactly across from each other. So all you have to do is pick one of the holes, let's say this one, and then you're gonna measure from the center of this hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this, it'll measure 5-1/2-inches. So that's gonna be a six on 5-1/2-inch bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of 1/2-inch by 20, and the weight capacity on this wheel is 2,830 pounds. Now always remember if you do have any questions regarding this product, please don't hesitate to contact us via phone chat or email. Or if you've even purchased this product, please send us pictures of it being used in your application. But that's gonna do it for a review on the Americana 15-inch by 6-inch galvanized spoke design steel trailer wheel with the six on 5-1/2-inch bolt pattern.
