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.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

etrailer was able to ship me a new replacement wheel and baby moon hubcaps in four days after experiencing a flat between Miami and Fort Meyers on the Alligator Alley 1600 miles from home! Since I had to drive a mile and a half on the rim to find a safe place to change the flat I decided to replace the wheel . I’ve had two of these wheels on my trailer for over 18,000 miles with no complaints. Thanks George and etrailer for the fast response.

I wanted to replace my factory-installed travel trailer wheels and tires from 14.5" to 15" diameter, plus improve the wear resistance to a Load D rating. We still wanted to maintain the Retro look of our trailer, so we opted for the wheels that supported the original shiny half-moon hubcaps. After receiving all the parts (one damaged hubcap was quickly replaced; I recommend shipping them in a different box than the heavy wheels), I spray-painted the wheels a bright red, to support the original color scheme, then had them mounted and balanced by the local tire shop. I then installed them; they look great! Paula was a terrific help with the order processing; made it all go quite seamlessly!

This is our repurposed 1959 travel trailer bar. We wanted to keep as much vintage charm as possible in her revocation. These brand new tires, wheels, and baby moon caps really brought the look together! Great products! Great prices! Great customer service! I will highly recommend you guys, and will do business in the future with this company! Thank you very much!!

After we purchased the wheels and Baby Moon hub caps from you, we took our vintage camper trailer on an eight thousand mile tour of the Southwest. The products performed without any problem and are ready to go again. Thank you, also for the personal attention you folks gave us at the time of purchase to ensure that we received the correct product the first time.

This wheel replaces one that can’t be balanced. I felt the wheel was reasonably priced and the delivery was prompt. The wheel appears to be well made and the powder coating gives it a nice look.

I just received my latest order from e trailer. I have ordered quite a few things from them. At first I was skeptical but I am an etrailer fan now. The website works well.

I was a little concerned after reading a couple of bad reviews about these wheels not being straight but decided to give them a try. My wheels arrived in great shape, are good quality American made wheels, have a nice powder coat finish, and most importantly they are perfectly straight and true! I had a few questions after the sale, and customer service was friendly, helpful, and very professional. It's rare to find good customer service now days ...... THANK YOU!

- Wide Conventional Style Wheel for 15 Inch Tire With 5 x 4-1/2 Bolt PatternThe Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20504 which is slightly wider than the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20404 is the widest wheel we carry in that diameter with the Conventional wheel design and offset. It is compatible with tires that will be much wider than the 7 inches. The 205/75R15 tire like # AM10245 is 8.1 inches wide. The 225/75R15 tire like # AM10256 is 8.9 inches wide. The...
view full answer... - Are Pre-Mounted Trailer Wheels and Tires BalancedWe do offer many popular combinations of trailer wheels and tires already mounted together by the distributor and these will be ready to mount on your Penski car hauler trailer. These wheel/tire items, all shown on the linked page, are not dynamically balanced in the way that vehicle tires are, but this step is optional with trailer tires. The distributor mounts them together with the tire's low spot matched to the wheel's high spot. This provides a degree of balancing that is usually...
view full answer... - 15" Trailer Wheels with 5 on 4.5 Bolt Pattern and +OffsetI'll start off by saying that when it comes to wheels that are rated for the weight of your trailer and are 15" wheels with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, we have a very limited selection of wheels that have a +0.5 offset (which is the largest offset we offer). The Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20504 have a +0.5 offset on 15" wheels with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, as well as a 1820-lbs capacity which makes them a great fit for your trailer. I've gone ahead and linked all of the trailer...
view full answer... - What is the Backspacing on Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset - 15Wheel # AM20504 has a 1/2 inch positive offset meaning that the mounting surface of the wheel is further away from the trailer which moves the tire closer to the frame. The backspacing is approximately 4 inches from the mounting surface to the edge of the wheel closest to the trailer.
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between Trailer Wheels and Vehicle WheelsThe differences from trailer wheels, like the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset # AM20504 that you referenced, and vehicle wheels, like GM OEM wheels, can vary based on a lot of things. Trailer wheels are specifically designed to be used with trailer tires. Trailer tires have sidewalls that are more stiff so that they can better handle the vertical load while vehicle tires have more flex in the sidewall to help make the ride more smooth for passengers and accommodate the movement...
view full answer... - Availability of 15-Inch Wheels With 5-on-4-1/2-Inch Bolt PatternThe wheels you referenced, Dexstar 15 x 6-inch wheel # AM20504 and 15 x 5-inch wheel # AM20404, both feature the 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern. These wheels also feature 3 projections around the hub area to allow a friction-fit of a hub cap like the 9-1/2-inch Americana Baby Moon # AM90086 for example. Since these wheels are not designed for use with any specific hub cap the fit of this particular Americana part, or your original hub caps, cannot be absolutely assured. I did go to...

- What is the Weight Limit of the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20504 for a 7000 lb. TrailerThe Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel + 1/2 inch Offset - 15 x 6 inch Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black, item # AM20504, has a weight capacity of 1870 lbs. and would work great on your 7000 lb. GVW trailer. The only concern is the 1/2 inch positive offset of the wheel. Most trailer wheels and tires have a 0 offset which means that the part of the wheel that bolts to the hub is centered in the wheel. Trailer wheels are designed this way to carry the loads required of them. The 1/2 inch positive...
view full answer... - Replacement Conventional Trailer Tire and Wheel for 1964 Mobile Scout Vintage TrailerThanks for the picture of your wheel and tire. From it can tell that the conventional wheel part # AM20504 is the correct fit and I was also able to make out the tire size on your sidewall of 205/75R15 so for a tire to go with it the Contender part # C20851D which is a radial in this size that has plenty of capacity at 2,150 lbs at 65 psi and has a speed rating of 81 mph.
view full answer... - Trailer Wheel for a 15 by 5 Inch Wheel with a 5 on 5-1/2 Bolt PatternWith a bolt hole measurement of 3-1/4 inches on a 5 bolt pattern that would mean you have a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. We have one wheel with that bolt pattern, # 560555SWA. This wheel has a pilot hole that measures 4-1/4 inches in diameter. If your existing wheels center on the hubs using wheel bolts and not lug nuts then this wheel will not work. If it uses lug nuts then you can use this wheel because having a larger pilot hole is fine. With this wheel size you will need to use an ST205/75-15...
view full answer... - Spare Tire and Wheel Recommendations for a Nitro Dual Axle Boat TrailerThe 14 inch tire on your boat trailer is most likely a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. You will need a 14 inch wheel to match the other wheels on your trailer. I have included a link to an FAQ that shows how to measure for bolt pattern. The wheel that you referenced, # AM20504, is a 15 inch wheel and it has an offset which is not all that common. If you just want a wheel, # AM20352, is the most common. In the event that your wheels do have an offset, you would use # AM20304. For a standard...
view full answer... - Vintage Style Trailer Rims With Baby Moon CapWe don't carry vehicle rims, but we are aware that many people use trailer wheels like our Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black, # AM20504 along with the Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Chrome-Plated Steel - Qty 1, # AM90086 for a vintage look. We cannot recommend trailer wheels for vehicle use, but these rims look very nice on vintage trailers.
view full answer... - Solution for a Trailer Where the Tires Rub the FrameWe don't recommend using wheel spacers to give a wheel more backspacing for trailer frame clearance. The real solution you need is to go with a longer axle. Nearly all trailer wheels have either a zero offset or very close to a zero offset so none of them would have the backspacing or offset you would need. A longer axle will push the hubs out further and will allow the rims to fit without trailer clearance. I attached a page that has all of the trailer axles we offer. We don't have...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Wheels be Used on a Passenger VehicleTechnically if the bolt pattern and weight ratings are compatible with your vehicle then you can fit trailer wheels on a car but the biggest problem you are going to have is proper tire placement. Vehicles use wheels with high positive offsets which puts the tire closer to the frame of the vehicle and since trailer wheels are designed to have a zero offset so that there is even tread wear as they tend to deal with heavier loads. Older vehicles used to use conventional steel wheels...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Tires be Moved Further Away from the Trailer FrameA wheel with an offset has the mounting surface off center so that the tire will be either closer to the trailer or further away depending on if it is a negative or positive offset. Positive offset means that the tire will be CLOSER to the trailer. Negative offset means that the tire will be FURTHER from the trailer. It sounds like you want a negative offset to move the tires a little further away from the trailer. But if the current set up is not making contact with the frame then...
view full answer... - Does Center Bore of Trailer Wheel Matter When Picking Out ReplacementThe pilot diameter of a wheel is only crucial for if the wheel is hub-centric (meaning it centers to the hub using the pilot hole of the wheel), and not lug centric (means the lugs are what centers the wheel). The # AM20504 has a pilot diameter of 2.62 inches. Most likely you have lug centric wheels and this would be just fine. The easy way to tell is to check out how the wheel attaches to the hub. If it is a wheel bolt it is hub centric, or if it is a lug nut it is lug centric. If...

- Could Dexstar Conventional Trailer Wheel be Used with Wheel BoltsAs long as the wheel bolts were tapered they can be used with the wheel part # AM20504 as the bolt holes on this wheel are designed for a tapered lug nut or wheel bolt. I'd strongly recommend you go with a trailer tire instead of a passenger vehicle tire. Which in the size 225/75R15 we do have a trailer tire like the USA made Goodyear Endurance part # 724857519 which will be your best option. It has the best tread design, highest speed rating, and a great warranty as well.
view full answer... - Compatibility of Conventional Wheels With 1999 Jeep Wrangler TJ For Vintage The Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20504 will work on a vehicle. Many vintage cars and trucks will use these wheels along with the baby moon # AM90086 or # AM981306. You may or may not want those with the olive drab paint. The bolt pattern on older Jeeps is normally 5 on 4-1/2 inches but on some Jeeps it is 5 on 5 inch so I recommend checking the bolt pattern. I believe the 1999 TJ models have the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern but it...

view full answer... - Would the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel Replace Wheel on 1960s Shasta Camper TrailerIt looks like your current wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, but you will need to verify that by measuring between two adjacent wheel studs. If that distance is 2-5/8 inches you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like the # AM20504 that you referenced. Aside from that the # AM20504 does match what you need as it is a 15 inch diameter wheel that is 6 inches wide.

- Available Widths of 15-Inch Trailer WheelsThe width of a trailer wheel is measured at the bead seat, which will always produce a narrower dimension than the overall total width of the wheel from edge to edge. It is likely that you have a 15 x 6-inch wheel. We do not have 7-inch-wide 15-inch rims. On the linked page you can view all 15 x 6-inch trailer wheels which are available in steel and aluminum in a variety of finishes.

The Dexstar does have a conventional design which was used by automobiles several years ago. It has a positive offset (+0.5) which puts the wheel's position closer to the frame.
