Features to know about

Built for Heavy Loads and Steady Towing: 2,200-lb Capacity Steel Wheel

When strength matters, the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel delivers. This 15" x 5" rim is made from sturdy steel and rated for 2,200 lbs. It meets Department of Transportation standards for reliability and balance, giving you the confidence to handle loaded hauls without worry about wheel fatigue or flex.

Tough Finish That Fights Corrosion: Black Powder Coat over E-Coat Primer

Corrosion doesn’t stand a chance against this wheel’s dual-layer protection. The black powder coat sits over an e-coat primer to fend off rust, moisture, and grime. It keeps its clean look through rain, road salt, and long-term use, so you don’t have to replace wheels just to keep things looking sharp.

Straightforward Fitment Every Time: 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern with 3.19" Pilot Diameter

Matching hardware shouldn’t be a guessing game. This wheel uses the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern with a 3.19" pilot diameter, zero offset, and 1/2"-20 wheel bolts. That combination makes setup simple and ensures balanced mounting that rides smoothly mile after mile.

Built to Last with Practical Versatility: Modular Design and DOT Compliance

The modular steel construction gives the wheel a strong, clean profile that handles constant use while keeping weight in check. Meeting DOT specs adds assurance that every dimension—from offset to rim width—is built to real-world standards for dependable performance over time.

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"

Black power coated, 15" steel wheel features a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and meets Department of Transportation standards.

by:

Had one rim bend on my first load, well under rated weight. Had another rip from the hub during same load. I tossed the other two and wouldn't suggest this garbage for a car trailer, maybe a light duty utility but not anything over 3 tons.



by:

I ordered these with tires mounted ready to install and it was an exact fit and they look great, I've found etrailer is the best place for anything I need for trailer related items.



by:

Wheels came by promise date and were by all means better than expected, great quality on the powder coat. Black wheels with chrome centers and lugs make the trailer pop.



by:

These rims came extremely quick and packaged very well. I was concerned they might be scuffed from other reviews, but maybe etrailer listened to those and changed their packaging, because all 4 of mine are packed so they don’t roll around or touch each other. Very happy with the rims and shipping.



by:

It was plain black mini mod wheels, so nothing fancy but was exactly as advertised. Customer follow up was on the mark.....always wanted to know if everything was going well. Tacking info was accurate and shipping charges very reasonable.

Wish I could buy pickup wheels here too.



by:

Only 1 of the 3 wheels I ordered arrived. I called etrailer 3 days later to be told, the other two wheels had been returned to etrailer and they were restocked back to the shelf. No updates on anything were provided by etrailer, until I called and inquired. I was told I was refunded the $88.00 the night before even though it has not shown up on my bank statement yet. I was then told I need to reorder the two items that were returned if I still want them. I was told I cannot pick them up, even though I live 6 miles away. So now I have to wait for "EXPRESS SHIPPING" for 3 days, when it is only one day ground shipping. I will say usually dealing with etrailer is enjoyable, fast, and easy. This experience has been a disaster all the way around and I am now missing a deadline. Thanks,



by:

I received my 15 inch trailer rims all the way in Alaska within 7 days, great shipping rate and quick. They were exactly what the description detailed. I continue to use eTrailer for other products because of their service.



by:

Wheels showed up on time, packed in box very well to avoid damage. Look great, had tires installed and balanced, technician stated that steel wheels usually aren't that round/straing, but these were excellent. Installed on camper, look great. Very happy with purchase and quality so far.



by:

Exactly as advertised. As good a quality as the one I replaced. The coating was perfect.



by:

Not only did you have what I needed,you shipped it very fast,the shipping box was not damaged in any way and the delivery driver put it up in my shed,a very happy customer Iam and I'll be buying from you again. Thank you all and may you all have a Merry Christmas Thank you!!!



by:

Fast courteous service. Purchased a trailer wheel so I could have a spare tire for my enclosed trailer. Now I can rest easy knowing I have a spare tire in case of an emergency. I would recommend etrailer.com to anyone. Thanks again!



by:

Great price and great product .



by:

Needed 15" wheels on my travel trailer so I could run load E tires. I wanted the same brand of wheel that was on it from the factory. Found these and they were perfect. Good price, worked as expected. Would recommend buying here.



by:

Very happy with product



by:

Arrived as promised.
I mounted Goodyear
tires and trailer is ready to roll.



by:

Haven't had time to install the wheel, but the service and delivery time was excellent



by:

The product I needed at good price and fast shipping.



by:

Got the wrong parts or the review would be excellent. Called customer service and they exceeded my expectations. Mistakes happen to all of us. The character of a person or company is how they respond to the mistake. I really expected the worse and got the best. They shipped the correct part quickly and arranged for the return of the wrong parts. Great value also. Etrailer has a new loyal customer.

by:

Great wheels! Fot perfect and fast ship ping



by:

As described and really added to the aesthetics of the trailer. These were paired with black wheels, so they really make it "pop".

    Yes, there is a 225/75R15 trailer tire that will fit a 15" x 5" trailer wheel, which is from Contender: - Load Range D: Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2257515D - Load Range E: Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TR225LRE These tires will work on a 15" x 5" steel mod trailer wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, but wheels have their own capacity, and the highest capacity 15" x 5" wheel has a 2,200 lb capacity, the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel.

  • What Degree Conical Seat Does Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20440 Use for Lug Nuts
    Hey Larry, yes the Dexstar trailer wheel part # AM20440 that you referenced was designed to be used with lug nuts that have a 60 degree angle conical seal like the # DE55KR which I really like because they are solid stainless steel. That means they won't swell up or corrode at all. Do you have lug nuts already?

    Hey Clifford, it sounds like you've done your research! So the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # DEX54FR and the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20443 are not the same but they are pretty close. They both are the same size, have the same bolt pattern, and the same weight capacity. The only real differences being the color, one is white and one is black, and the design of the wheel - one has an 8 spoke design and one has a mini mod design. Both of these wheels will work with...

  • Are 5 or 6 Inch Wheels Better for 205/75-15 Size Tires
    A 205/75-15 size tire can actually fit on a wheel from 5 to 6-1/2 inches wide. With that being said, it's generally better to go with the thinnest wheel your tire fits on because that puts the weight on the wheel in the most vertical position so a 5 inch is marginally better than a 6 inch for your tires. Another thing to make note of is your bolt pattern. All of our 15 inch wheels that have a 6-lug bolt pattern are 6 inches wide. If you have a 5-lug, most likely a 5 on 4-1/2 pattern, then...

  • Which Holds Up Better on Trailer Wheel Powder Coat or Acrylic Paint
    Powder coating is widely considered to be superior to acrylic paint in terms of resistance to chipping, scratching, and color retention. For a wheel application powder coat will definitely look better as well as hold up better than paint. Based on that the finish of the Dexstar part # AM20440 would hold up better than the Vesper part # MX34FR.

  • Best Trailer Tires To Replace Old 7.35-15 Tires On A Vintage Camper
    From looking at the pictures you provided, it does look like you have the very common 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern on your wheels, but as with any vintage trailer, I highly recommend double checking this to make sure. I included an article about this as it comes up pretty often, but all you need to do is measure from the center of one bolt to the center of one right next to it. If you get 2-5/8", then you definitely have the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If you do not, check the article and it will...

  • Can the PSI Rating of the Dexstar Rim # AM20440 be Exceeded Safely
    The Dexstar Rim # AM20440 has a surprisingly low psi rating when compared to most trailer rims. Even though you would most likely be fine to inflate your tires to the 65 psi rating they call for I cannot safely recommend this. But I will say that if you do decide to exceed the psi rating for the wheel make sure you have valve stems that are capable of the higher capacity like the # AM20906 as typically the psi capacity for a wheel is limited by the valve stem.

  • Differences Between Dexstar Mini-Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20537 and # AM20440
    Other than the color and the width of the rim, the two wheels you mentioned are constructed of powder coated steel and feature the same design. Both the silver 15x6 wheel, part # AM20537 and the black 15x5 wheel, part # AM20440 have a 2200 lb capacity.

    The Aluminum Viking Series Vor Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # AX02550545FPS has a silver painted and clear coated finish which is pretty resistant to rocks and debris like you mentioned, but is not the toughest finish. You would be better suited with a powder coated wheel like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black Powder Coat # AM20440, White Powder Coat # AM20551, or Silver Powder Coat # AM20436.

  • Backspacing of Tralier Wheel
    The # AM20440 wheel you're asking about has a zero offset, which means the tire's mounting pad is equidistant between the front and the back of the wheel. The wheel's backspacing is 3-1/2 inches. I've provided a diagram which I think will help.

  • What Size of Tire is Recommended for the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20440
    A 335 series tire will be a little over 13 inches in width. The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20440 that you referenced is only 5 inches wide so it would not work for a tire that wide. The narrowest tire size this rim would fit is a 205 series tire like part # AM10245 that is 205/75R15.

  • What is Backspacing of Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20440
    The backspacing of the Dexstar trailer wheel part # AM20440 is 3 inches since the width is 5 inches and you have to add in 1 inch for the wheel lip and then divide by two.

    It sounds like you are looking for 15" wheels with the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.

  • Recommended 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern Wheels and Tires for 7K Tandem Axle Trailer
    If at all possible, it's best to stick as close as possible to the wheel/tire size recommended by the trailer manufacturer because that's how the trailer was designed but there IS some flexibility there. We don't offer a higher rated tire than a load range C (1820 lb per tire) mounted on a 5 on 5 bolt pattern wheel, but you could purchase the wheel and tires separately and have them mounted locally if you wish. I'd recommend going with a 15x5 rim like part # AM20428 which have a zero...

  • How To Stop Off-Road Trailers From Blowing 235/75-R15 Tires
    I do have an option for you but a higher load range won't do you any good. The issue is that you're running radial tires which are great for highway but perform poorly off-road. I'd recommend simply switching to a bias ply, the Kenda ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM1ST97. This way, you don't have to worry about fender clearance either as it's usually not as simple as just raising the fender. If you want new wheels as well, you could pair these with the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer...

  • Trailer Tire Size and Wheel Size Compatibility
    The Dexstar 15 x 5-Inch Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20440 can accept a tire width up to 205mm, meaning a tire in size ST205/75-15. This rim has a shipping weight of 17-lbs. A tire of size 225/75-15 is too wide for this rim; this tire size requires a 15 x 5-inch rim like # TA37RR which is a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern or # AM20539 which is a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. The rim you mentioned above is a 5-on-4-1/2 as on # AM20440. I linked an article on trailer tire sizing that may be of interest...

  • Can I Change Trailer Tire Sizes Without Changing Wheels
    I'll start this off by saying that you'll want to make sure that you have sufficient clearance from your trailer frame to determine if you can upgrade in tire size from 205/75r15 to 225/75r15; there is roughly 1.2" difference between the two tires but when you take into consideration the 3" to 4" required to allow for suspension clearance it may become an issue. Additionally, you're correct in assuming that upgrading to a 225/75r15 tire would required upgrading to a wider wheel-which it...

  • What is the Offset of the Wheels That Come with the AM32424
    The wheel that comes on the # AM32424 is the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black Powder Coat # AM20440, which has 0 offset. Trailer wheels in most cases have a 0 offset or 0.5 +/- each way at most, which is done to equalize the weight of the trailer load.

  • Center Plug Recommendations for the Americana Aluminum Split Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM22647
    Either the Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap # AM90175 you referenced or the Trailer Wheel Center Cap # 319EZ-SS would work well as a center cap for the Americana Aluminum Split Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20440 since they both are designed for pilot diameters of 3.19 like what the wheel has. The main difference between the two center caps is that the # AM90175 has a black plug in the center and the # LHCS102-SI60C has a chrome finish on the center plug.

  • Spare 15 and 16 inch Rim Recommendation for a Trailer
    Your first wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and your second one has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. For the 15 inch wheel the part # AM20440 would be a match to what you have and has a great price. For the 16 inch wheel we have the # TA73VR which would fit and has a great price as well. I've linked a page to help with all the available options.

  • What is the Offset of Dexstar Steel Mini Mod 15x5, 5 on 4-1/2 Trailer Wheel AM20440
    That is correct. Trailer wheel # AM20440 has a zero offset meaning the mounting surface is right in the middle of the wheel. This wheel is a 15 x 5 inch with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. It has a 2,150 pound capacity.
