Determining the Bolt Pattern
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 halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

Today we're going to review the Americana 8 inch by 3 3/4 inch galvanized, steel trailer wheel with the 5 1 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. This wheel is a sturdy steel construction. It has nice galvanized finish all over the wheel to provide superior protection from rust and corrosion. Galvanized wheels are mainly used in marine applications like boat trailers or small watercraft trailers. This wheel is a high quality wheel. It meets the Department of Transportation specifications. A few specs on this.
We're going to measure the diameter, which is inside to inside, and the width which is also bead seed to bead seed or inside to inside. If we go on the diameter, we put a tape measure on it you can see 8 inches for the diameter, and the width, again inside to inside, you can see is going to be right at 3 3/4 inches. The bolt pattern on this is a 5 on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern and if you want to measure the bolt pattern on a wheel that's an odd number of lugs, in this case five, all you have to do is pick any hole, we'll start with this one, and then you measure across from this hole directly over to these holes. The trick is you measure from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of whichever hole you go to. We'll go from this hole to this hole. If I put the tape measure on it, center to furthest edge, you can see is 4 1/2 inches.
So, five on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. It does use a wheel lug size of 1/2 inch by 20. Weight capacity on this wheel is 910 pounds and the pilot hole diameter, the large hole here in the center of the wheel goes over the hub on your trailer, the diameter of that opening is 2.8 inches. That should do it for the review on the Americana 8 inch by 3 3/4 inch galvanized steel trailer wheel with the five on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern.
