When you’re carrying serious weight but don’t want extra pounds slowing you down, this 14" x 5" aluminum wheel gets it right. It handles up to 2,200 lbs while staying light and rustproof, so you get strength without the heft. The aluminum build resists corrosion and keeps the setup looking sharp season after season.
The Margay’s 5-spoke glossy black finish isn’t just for looks—it’s protected by an automotive-grade clear coat that shields against scuffs and scratches. Even after long hauls or frequent use, that sleek finish holds up and keeps the trailer looking fresh.
Fitment is straightforward with this wheel’s 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and 3.19" pilot diameter. The zero offset centers the load properly on the hub for balanced performance. Wheel bolt size is 1/2"-20, and it meets DOT specifications and SAE J1204 standards, so you know you’re running gear built to spec.
You don’t have to worry about losing torque over time. Lionshead adds steel inserts into each lug-nut well to help retain torque retention and prevent wheel-offs. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in keeping everything locked down mile after mile.
This wheel comes ready with a valve stem installed, making setup fast and simple. Add your own center cap if you want a custom look—the Margay is designed to make that easy without extra modification.
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 Lionshead 14-inch by 5-inch glossy black Margay aluminum trailer wheel. It's a 5 on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now, this is an aluminum wheel. It's durable, lightweight, and rust proof.
And we mentioned it's the Margay series, which you can see is a five-spoke design, has a nice glossy black finish, and then they do a machined edge on the spokes and on the lip to get it shine. They do use an automotive grade clear coat finish on the front, helps protect from scuffs and scratches. If you notice right over here, the valve stud is included. It's pre-installed on the wheel. Now, the center cap is not included.
If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately on our website. You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll have the same diameter as this pilot hole here 'cause when you install your center cap, it'll go through this hole. Diameter on this pilot hole is 3.19 inches. This wheel does meet the DOT Department of Transportation specifications and the SAE J1204 standards. A few dimensions on this, we're gonna measure the diameter and the width.
And when you measure the diameter, it's always measured inside to inside. So basically, if we put our tape measure on there, you'll be able to see there's your 14-inch diameter. The width, same way is gonna be inside to inside or bead seat to bead seat. There's your five-inch width. And the bolt pattern on this wheel is a 5 on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern.
If you wanted to measure that on a wheel, that's an odd number of lugs, like in this case, 5. What you have to do is pick one of the holes. Let's say this one. And then you're gonna measure across from this hole to either one of these holes right across from it. But when you measure it, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of the hole that you measure to. So on this one, it'll measure 4 1/2 inches. So that's telling me this is a 5 lug, 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20. And the weight capacity on this wheel is 2,200 pounds. But that should do it for a look at the Lionshead 14-inch by 5-inch glossy black Margay aluminum trailer wheel with the 5 on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern.
