This 16" x 6" Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel is rated for up to 4,400 lbs and meets Department of Transportation standards, so it’s ready for serious hauling. The sturdy steel construction and 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern deliver the strength needed for steady tracking under heavy loads. It fits 1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18 studs with a 4.9" pilot diameter and a true zero offset for balanced hub alignment.
Salt spray, road grime, and moisture don’t stand a chance against the wheel’s layered protection. The e-coat primer is sealed under a durable silver powder coat that holds up through seasons of use. Owners choose this finish for its clean look and proven resistance to rust in humid or wet environments.
Dexstar designed this modular wheel with a precise zero offset and 3-1/2" backspacing, keeping the hub face centered for even load distribution. That means your trailer tracks straight without unwanted push or pull, giving you a strong yet stable feel on the road.
Whether you’re matching an ST235/80R16 or ST235/85R16 tire, this wheel’s 16" diameter and 6" width provide the right fit. Its modular design pairs easily with metal bolt-in valve stems such as Americana part # AM20906 for high-pressure setups up to 110 psi, making it a versatile choice across work or recreational trailers.
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're gonna take a look at the Dexstar 16-inch by 6-inch silver modular heavy-duty steel trailer wheel with the eight on 6-1/2-inch bolt pattern. Now this wheel is a sturdy steel construction. It is the modular design, and when we say modular design, that's the one that has the round holes all the way around the wheel. This wheel has excellent corrosion resistance because they use a two-step finishing process, which will include first an E-coat primer and then a white powder coat finish over the E-coat primer. This is a high-quality wheel, does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications.
Now if you notice the center cap is not included. We do sell center cap separately if you do want one. You just wanna make sure to get a center cap. That'll have the same diameter as this pilot hole right here. And the diameter on this pilot hole is 4.9-inches.
Now this wheel is made by Dexstar, which means it is made in the USA. A few dimensions I wanna measure for you is the diameter and the width of the wheel. And when you measure the diameter, what you're actually measuring is inside to inside or bead seat to bead seat. Basically, when tires are mounted on this wheel, the bead of the tire's gonna seat right here. So what you're measuring for the diameter measurement is bead seat to bead seat.
So if we go inside to inside, you'll be able to see there's your 16-inch diameter and the width, it's gonna be the same way, bead seat to bead seat or inside to inside. And there's your 6-inch width. Now if you notice, this has a bolt pattern of eight on 6-1/2-inches. If you want to measure that on a wheel, that's an even number of lugs. It's pretty easy because if you notice the lug holes are directly across from each other.
So when you go to measure it, all you have to do is pick one of the holes. Let's say this one. Measure from the center of this hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this wheel it'll measure 6-1/2-inches. So that means it's an eight lug, 6-1/2-inch bolt pattern. This will use a wheel lug size of 1/2-inch by 20 or 9/16 by 18. And we mentioned it's a heavy-duty wheel, and the reason it's a heavy-duty wheel, it does have a higher weight capacity than some of the other ones. This has a 4,400 pound weight capacity. But that should do it for a look at this Dexstar 16-inch by 6-inch silver modular heavy-duty steel trailer wheel with the eight on 6-1/2-inch bolt pattern.

I will be using these wheels on my horse trailer as well. My current wheels are gray but Im having trouble finding that color. Does the silver wheel that you ordered have a matte finish as opposed to shiny? I prefer the matte finish. Thanks for your help.
