Features to know about

Built to Stay Solid Mile After Mile: Aluminum Wheel with Steel Lug Nut Inserts

This wheel is made to stay tight and true no matter how far you roll. The 16" x 6" Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel has steel inserts pressed into the lug nut wells that keep the holes from wearing down and eliminate the need for constant retightening. It locks onto the hub securely every time, giving lasting peace of mind when you’re towing heavy loads.

Rustproof Strength That Looks Good for Years: Glossy Black Aluminum Construction

Corrosion doesn’t stand a chance here. The rustproof aluminum build holds up against moisture, while the automotive-grade clear coat protects the glossy black finish from scuffs and scratches. It’s a sharp, clean look that stays that way season after season, even when exposed to rough weather.

Ready to Handle Heavy Loads with Confidence: 3,300-lb Capacity and 0 Offset

Each wheel is rated for 3,300 lbs and meets DOT and SAE J1204 standards, so it’s built for serious hauling. A 0 offset keeps load distribution balanced across the hub, while the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and 4.25" pilot diameter make for a strong, consistent fit with standard hardware sizes—1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18 wheel bolts.

Clean Fit and Easy Customization: Valve Stem Included, Center Cap Sold Separately

The wheel arrives with a valve stem installed so it’s ready for tire mounting right away. The center cap is sold separately, giving you flexibility to pick the style you like best—like adding the matching black cap (part # CXF104B) if you want a finished look that ties everything together.

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"

The Wheels are great; they are what they are. I could probably get these wheels or equals at a number of places, what is exceptional is etrailer customer service. Their website gives lots of information and from the point of ordering I could easily track the progress (which was very quick) of my order.

Glad to hear the rim was a perfect match for your Valor 36V11 and arrived exactly as expected! Having a matching spare always brings a little extra peace of mind on the road. Also, thank you for taking the time to include the photos those are super helpful for other customers trying to match their current setup. Have you had a chance to take the trailer out on any trips since getting everything mounted up?

Rims look great Jeff! How is the cruise lite treating ya?

Great wheels. Got a good deal on two that had minor blemishes. Mounted them a few weeks ago and my trailer not only looks great but also being able to safely tow with newer wheels makes it all that more enjoyable. Thank you etrailer!!

Glad we could help, Billy! They definitely look nice on there! ^___^ Do you have a trip planned to test them out yet?

by:
The wheel itself is fine but there was no cap on the tire valve allowing dirt or leak causing debris to get in the valve. It is a little thing that should not happen.

slow shipping

  • What Is The Max PSI Rating For The Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel LH48VR?
    Hello Phillip, thanks for reaching out. Trailer rims like the Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel # LH48VR do not have a PSI rating. They can handle the PSI of any 16" trailer tire. The actual PSI rating is determined by the valve stem, which for the # LH48VR wheel is a rubber valve stem rated for up to 80 PSI. If your tires go higher than 80 PSI, replace the rubber valve stems with the metal valve stem part # AM20906 which are rated for over 200 PSI.

  • Availability Of Aluminum AM02 Series Black Machined Trailer Wheel In A 16" 6-Lug
    Hey John, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we don't offer that Aluminum AM02 Series Black Machined Trailer Wheel in a 16". The largest size we have that in is a 14". We do have some similar 16" aluminum wheels though. I'll list those for you below if you want to take a look: - Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" - 6 on 5-1/2 - Silver Spoke # TA75FR - Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Glossy Black # LH48VR - Aluminum Siberian Trailer...

  • Center Cap to Use with Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel # LH48VR
    Hey Chad, since the pilot diameter of the Aluminum Eagle Wheel part # LH48VR is 4.25 inch you could use the center cap part # CXF104B for a nicer looking black one that has the machined screws.

  • Do You Have the Lionshead Bearcat Wheel? What Similar Ones do You Have?
    Hello Brent, I never like being the bearer of bad news, but that wheel is no longer available. We have it listed as NLA (no longer available) and that is usually because the manufacturer decided to quit making it. The Lionhead part number is SUBE-160-600-6BMF, might be able to find somewhere that still has stock in case you are trying to match it to what you already have. If you are not trying to match it, I suggest getting a different wheel so that in future if you do need to match it,...

  • Will Lionshead 16x6J SAEJ1204 Wheels Support A SAILUN 14 PLY S637 235/80R16 Tire?
    Hey Karl, thanks for reaching out. Yes, you are good to make that switch. The Lionhead 16x6J SAE J1204 wheels will handle the Sailun S637 ST235/80R16 Load Range H tires. The wheel itself isn't the limiting factor when it comes to air pressure. The valve stem is what determines the maximum pressure rating, so installing a quality metal high-pressure valve stem is the right move. Running the Sailuns at 95 PSI is also perfectly fine as long as that pressure supports the actual load on your...

  • What Size Tires Fit the 16" x 6" Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel LH48VR?
    Hey Anthony. The Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel item # LH48VR is a 16" x 6" rim so you'll want to use ST235/80R16 or ST235/85R16 on your 5th wheel trailer. This wheel is sold individually and has a 6 on 5-1/2 lug nut pattern. It has a 3,300 lbs capacity and a 4.25" pilot hole. A ST235/85R16 is right at 31-1/2" in diameter and a ST235/80R16 is closer to 30.7–31". You'll want to make sure your fender wells can accommodate this tall of a tire. You'll want at least 3" of clearance to avoid...

  • Availability Of Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2
    Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out. I am sorry to say we do not offer that exact wheel by itself. We have that aluminum Liger wheel in a 15" 6-lug but not in a 16". Right now, the only way we offer that wheel is with the Goodyear combo you were looking at - and even that one is being discontinued by the manufacturer so once we sell what we have left we won't be getting more stock. I can offer you a similar wheel like the Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 # LH48VR...

  • Availability of 16" Black Liger Wheel With 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern
    Hi Jerry; I'm sorry to say the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 was discontinued by Lionshead in July last year. We technically have one left, but it is a wheel and tire combo # LH42FR so the wheel isn't available separately. Outside of that, you're looking at getting the closest match which would be the Eagle # LH48VR, or checking a local scrap yard to see if they have any available. Is this a spare or are you trying to match a damaged rim?

  • How Much PSI Can The 16" Lionshead Aluminum Eagle H48VR Handle?
    Hi Curt! The Lionshead Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Glossy Black # LH48VR can handle the psi rating of any 16" tire you can throw at it, but the valve stem will be what dictates the max psi you can actually run. The one that come included with this wheel is rated up to 85 psi, so that is the highest you can run without upgrading the valve stem. If you are wanting to run a heavier duty tire, you will want to swap the valve stems to the Americana Metal, Bolt-In...
