Features to know about

Built to Handle Real Loads: 1,360-lb Wheel Capacity

This wheel is built for strength and steady performance on the road. The Dexstar Steel Directional Trailer Wheel measures 13" x 4-1/2" and carries a 1,360-lb capacity, so it’s ready for serious towing duty. It meets Department of Transportation standards, giving peace of mind when you’re hauling heavier gear or logging long miles.

Resists Rust Year After Year: Silver Powder-Coated Steel Construction

Moisture, road grime, and salt can eat away at lesser wheels over time. The sturdy steel construction and silver finish on this Dexstar wheel provide excellent protection against rust and corrosion. That means it keeps its clean look and solid strength even after repeated use in wet or humid conditions.

Clean Look with Directional Style: Simple but Standout Design

Not every trailer wheel has to look the same. The directional spoke pattern gives this 13" wheel a sharp, upgraded look that stands out from standard steel styles. It adds a bit of personality without sacrificing the durability or function you count on from a heavy-duty steel rim.

Straightforward Fitment: 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern with 0 Offset

No surprises when it comes to mounting. The wheel uses a common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern with a 3.19" pilot diameter, 0 offset, and 1/2"-20 wheel bolt size. It’s a straightforward setup that makes replacing or matching existing wheels simple and reliable.

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"

Great service. Fast shipping. Great pro duct.

This is replacing a bent wheel on a Shoreland’r trailer. Good looking wheel.



by:

Exactly what I needed, matches Lund trailer rims. Would recommend to anyone



by:

The wheel arrived in a well packed box and is everything they said it would be. It's a nice match for the other wheels already on my trailer.



by:

Stamped made in USA, but looks like made elsewhere. Came with dings as though it was just one of thousands in a warehouse. And my made in China stock wheel didn't have grooves or lines in the metal not just a flaw in the paint. But, for the price it IS worth it.

I bought a new boat trailer which did not come with a spare. Nobody locally had the wheel I needed. I found etrailer.com on line and placed the order and was notified shortly after that the order was filled and the shipping was upgraded at no additional charge. Wheel arrived on time. Great service! Thanks.



by:

First rim was a swing and a miss, I'm Not sure how a bent rim can be shipped as it was Not a UPS issue the box was Not damaged or the paint on the rim chipped etc. I understand things happen but we are talking a rim here, pretty simple item to check quality before shipping. That begin said They were Awesome in shipping me out a new one right away and sending me a return shipping for the damaged item. I would Definitely purchase from E-Trailer again!!! Thank You!!!

perfect match of my original equipment on my shorelander trailer. Thanks again



by:

Although it's not an exact match for my original wheels on my Bass Tracker Pro Team 185 trailer, it's close and makes a perfect spare. Glad I bought it!

No issues at all. Still good as new!!



by:

The wheels run smooth and stopped the bouncing on my tandem axel boat trailer. The only bad thing about the order is in the picture the wheels look silver, but when I got them they are a dull gray, and they don't match the chrome hubs and lug nuts I ordered. The information videos about getting the correct size wheels helped and I received my order in less than a week.



by:

GREAT LAYOUT ON WEB PAGE & PROMPT SHIPPING AS ALWAYS



by:

Great experience! Very friendly and helpful staff that kept me fully informed throughout the process, from order to delivery.

  • Replacement 13 Inch Trailer Wheel for a 2015 Tracker Pro 170 Bass Boat Trailer
    The vast majority of 13 inch trailer wheels have the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I looked up your 2015 Tracker Pro 170 and found that it has the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I also found that it is a directional silver steel wheel based on pictures I have seen from Tracker. We have those! You will need # AM20259. I have linked a video review of this wheel for you.

  • How Do I Determine What Wheel is Needed for 5X8 Trailer
    That depends first on your bolt pattern. The item you linked to, # AM20259 is a 13" wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. You need to identify if you have a 4 or 5 lug pattern on your trailer. The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit. To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point...

  • Will ST185/80R13 Tire Fit Dexstar Steel Directional Trailer Wheel
    Hey Mike, welcome back! Yes, an ST185/80R13 tire like # AM10208 will fit the Dexstar Steel Directional Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # AM20259. We no longer carry the Goodyear tires you referenced in your other question but if you can find some they can be used together with this wheel. Any big trips planned with your boat this summer?

    Thanks for reaching out, Jeff! There are a few different ways to get the setup you're looking for. We do offer some pre-mounted tire and wheel combos, like part # AM3S333, which comes with a white powder-coated steel rim. If you’re after something in a silver finish, check out part # AM3S334, this one features a galvanized rim. Just a quick note about galvanized wheels: since they’re hot-dip coated, the finish can have some inconsistencies, like drips or areas where the coating appears...

  • 13 Inch Directional Trailer Wheel for 175/80-13 Size Tire
    Looking at your picture we have a wheel that's close but I'm not sure it's exact. Directional wheels aren't all that common on trailres but we have part # AM20259 which is a Dexstar steel wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. It looks very similar but I'm not sure if it's exact. The wheel's capacity is 1,360 pounds and it has a 3.19 pilot hole. Those specs might help you match it up to yours as well. It is a 13 inch diameter wheel so it'll fit your 175/80-13 size tires for sure.

  • Is there a Left and a Right for Directional Trailer Wheels
    Oddly enough for the directional trailer wheels we carry such as # AM20259 there isn't a left and a right. There is just the one so if you were to use 2 of them the appearances of them would not match unless you had more than one axle. Then they would match but only on the side you were looking at. I spoke with our resident tire and wheel guru and he said that trailer directional wheels are just for looks and not function so there isn't a left and a right.

  • Spare Wheel and Tire For a 2017 Shorelandr Pontoon Trailer 175/80D13
    We have the Dexstar Steel Directional Trailer Wheel # AM20259 that you will be able to mount to a Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10199. We currently do not carry Carlisle tires but the Karrier does include a 5 year warranty which is much higher than others. This is great for a spare tire having the longer warranty period. I recommend a locking spare tire carrier like the CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier # CE27202 that way your tire is secured to your trailer.

    Yes. You can use a tire like the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM1ST77, which is the size you specified on the Dexstar Steel Directional Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # AM20259.

  • Is There a Trailer Hub with LM67048 and LM11949 Bearings in a 4x4 Bolt Pattern?
    Hi George, I checked through our idler hub options, and we don't have a complete hub assembly that uses the LM67048 inner bearing, the LM11949 outer bearing, and a true 4x4 bolt pattern. Right now, these are the only two complete hub assemblies we carry with that bearing combination. The first is the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, part # DX22XR. It's made for 2,500 lb idler axles and uses a 5x4-1/2 bolt pattern. The second is the TruRyde Trailer Hub Assembly, part # AH15450ECOMP,...

  • What Does Rim of Dexstar Wheel and Tire AM32386 Look Like and 205/75R15 Tire Recommendation
    The wheel that comes with the part# AM32386 is a Dexstar directional wheel like the part # AM20259. I attached a picture of what the rim looks like. For tires I really like the Taskmaster brand since they have the higher speed ratings. Most trailer tires are limited to around 65 mph but the Taskmaster tires like the # TTWTRTM2057515C, which is the size you need, is rated for up to 81 mph.

  • How To Select Replacement Wheels For Trailer
    Since Trailstar manufactured so many different size and style trailers it would be difficult to tell you what size wheel you need as a replacement. I have attached a helpful article you can check out that explains how to determine the wheel bolt pattern you have on your trailer so you can make sure you choose a wheel that works with the hubs on your trailer. The 13-inch wheels we offer have bolt patterns of 4 on 4, 4 on 9.44, and 5 on 4-1/2 inches. Once you have determined the bolt...

  • Recommended Wheel for ST175/80R13 Tire on Haulmark Trailer
    A 175/80-13 tire like yours fits a 13" wheel with a rim width of 4-1/2", 5", or 5-1/2". If you are replacing just one wheel, I recommend finding the width of your current wheels so everything matches and you don't have any issues. The other thing you will need to find out is your bolt pattern. It is likely that you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern but you also may have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. If you need a 13" x 4-1/2" rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern I recommend the # AM20259. For the...

    The first thing that you will want to double check is the width of the wheel that your technician measured. When most people measure a wheel width they measure the total width of the wheel while you are supposed to measure the bead seat to bead seat measurement (see attached picture). If your technician measure outside to outside for the width of your wheels then you will be looking for a wheel with 13 inch x 4-1/2 inch specs.

  • Where Dexstar Wheels and Kenda Karrier Trailer Tires are Manufactured
    The Dexstar # AM20259 13 x 4-1/2 Directional Trailer Wheel you referenced is made in the USA, but the # AM10210 ST175/80R-13 Karrier Radial Trailer Tire is manufactured in Taiwan or Mainland China. Though it's manufactured overseas, the tire meets all Department of Transportation safety standards. These days, you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a trailer tire that isn't manufactured overseas.

  • Availability of 175/80-13 Trailer Tire Mounted on Gray Powder Coat Rim
    We don't offer any gray powder coated wheels, but if silver powder coat would come close enough to gray for your liking, we have a solution or tow that would work for you. Since we don't carry a 175/80-13 Load Range D tire mounted on a silver rim, you could purchase the wheel and tire separately. The bias ply tire is part # AM1ST77, or for a radial tire, choose # AM10210. For wheels, you can choose from a 13 x 4-1/2 inch silver powder coated modular wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern,...
