Features to know about

Built to Handle Heavy Loads with Confidence: 3,050-lb Wheel Capacity

When you’re towing something that really matters, this 16" x 6" steel wheel is built to handle the weight and keep rolling steady. It’s rated for 3,050 lbs and meets Department of Transportation specifications, so you know it’s made for serious use. The 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and 1/2"-20 wheel bolts give it solid, dependable mounting strength for everyday hauling or long trips.

Protected Against Rust and Corrosion: Galvanized Steel Construction

Moisture, road salt, and coastal air can eat through a cheap wheel fast. The galvanized finish on this Mini Mod steel rim seals out corrosion before it starts. It’s tough against rust and stays looking clean even after repeated dunking or long-term outdoor storage. The modular design adds extra strength while keeping that simple, classic trailer look.

High-Pressure Performance Ready: Works with Proper Valve Stem for 110+ PSI

For setups that run high-pressure tires, this wheel doesn’t hold you back. With a higher-rated valve stem like the # AM20906, it easily handles 110+ psi without issue. That means you get peace of mind when running heavy-duty tires at their proper pressure—no guessing, no compromises.

Straightforward Fitment that Meets the Specs

Everything about this wheel is clear and to the point: 0 offset, a 4.27" pilot diameter, and a sturdy steel build that matches DOT standards. It’s simple to mount, lines up true, and gives you a solid starting point for a reliable trailer setup that feels right every time you hit the road.

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"

Video Transcript for Breaking Down the Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Americana steel mod trailer wheel. Now this wheel is made with a sturdy steel construction. It's a nice durable design. It's very strong and dependable, has a galvanized finish on it, which provides superior protection from rust and corrosion. Nice galvanized finish all the way around, and it is the modular design. The mod design is simply these holes that go around the wheel, so it's a mod design instead of a spoke or a solid wheel design.

That gives the wheel a really nice look and just overall really nice style for this unit.The high quality wheel meets Department of Transportation specifics. When it comes to the dimensions of the wheel, it's a 16" diameter. Now, the diameter is measured from bead seat to bead seat, so from this point here straight across to this point here. That's a 16" diameter, and then the width is 6" on this unit. That's measured from bead seat to bead seat as well, so from this point here straight across to this point here, 6" wide.The bolt pattern on the unit is 6 on 5 1/2", so that means that we have 6 lug holes.

Since it's an even number, to get the measurement you just pick one and measure from the center of one directly across to the center of the other, and that's 5 1/2". Again bolt pattern is 6 on 5 1/2", uses a wheel bolt size of 1/2" by 20. The pilot hole diameter . That's the diameter of the hole here at the center, that's 4.27". This hole right here is the whole for the valve stem.

When it comes to the capacity of this wheel, that's 3,050 pounds. That's going to do it for today's look at the Americana steel mod trailer wheel.

Great upgrade. Pulled the trailer half dozen times with these tires and wheels. No longer worried about blowouts with the Sailun tires. Sway has been reduced dramatically. Especially notable on windy days.



by:

The order and the delivery process were expedient and simplistic. The quality of the wheels meets my needs, and because they are already hot dip galvanized ("not" electroplate), they should hold up well against water and corrosion, and this allows me to avoid sandblasting and galvanizing myself, down the road. I am pleased and gratified.

So far I have mounted only one tire on one of the wheels as a spare however, I have four more tires to mount and balance. Whether I mount the next four with or without tubes is one consideration and how they work forwithin automotive use is another consideration, but I am optimistic. The wheels have identical weight ratings to automotive wheels and the fact that they have zero offset should not be an issue. I suspect that I will be pleased. The wheels will not see high speeds because they will be fitted to an old Toyota Land Cruiser diesel model.

  • 235/8516R Load Range G Tire That Fits 16" x 6" Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel
    Hello Martin, Unfortunately not; I googled the Hercules website and they say their 235/8516R requires a wheel that is 6-1/2" wide at minimum or 7" wide at maximum, and the # AM20744 is a 6" wide rim. We do have a 235/8516R load range G tire that fits the # AM20744, however; which is the Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWPRG235R16. This is a 14-ply tire like the Hercules, and the only other thing to keep in mind is for the wheel you'd need Valve Stem # AM20906. As for the...

  • Steel 16" Trailer Wheels With 6 on 5-1/2" Bolt Pattern
    Here is a list of our 16" steel trailer wheels which have the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. We will not have any wheels which have the 95.4mm pilot hole you are needing which should not likely be an issue since trailers will typically use a coned Lug Nut # CE11051 which lug centers the wheel rather than hub centering the wheel like several vehicles will require. If your trailer hub is hub centric and uses a Flange Nut # LI84FR you will need to have an centric ring adapter made to fit the wheels....

  • Could Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel AM20744 Work on 35 ft Ragen 5th Wheel
    The Steel Mini Mod trailer wheel part # AM20744 has a capacity of 3,050 lbs per wheel which is about average for what 16 inch trailer wheels are rated for. So what that means is that if you have 16 inch wheels currently and that is what the trailer came with these are going to work fine. Otherwise you can determine the weight of your trailer and multiply 3,050 by the amount of wheels your trailer has and as long as the multiplied number is greater than your trailer weight you'd be fine....

  • Recommended 16 Inch By 6 Inch Rim 6 on 5-1/2 Inch Wheel
    When it comes to a spare tire for your big Tex dual axle trailer The Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16 inch x 6 inch Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Galvanized Finish # AM20744 will be equivalent with what you have already. The wheel has a 3,050 pound capacity and the wheel bolt size is 1/2 inch-20. It meets the DOT specifications. I attached a review video link below.

  • Could Trailer Wheel # AM20744 Handle 110 PSI With Proper Rated Valve Stem
