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.

Bolt Pattern - Odd

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.)

Bolt Pattern - Even

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.)

Bolt Pattern - 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"

I recently discovered etrailer while searching for a specific steel spoke trailer wheel. Not only did they have the item I was looking for, but their selection was vast, and the prices were competitive. The website was easy to navigate, and the product descriptions were informative and accurate. I was pleasantly surprised by the fast shipping and the care they took in packaging my order. I’m thrilled with my purchase and will continue to shop at etrailer for all my needs.



by:

I put these on an old 2 wheel trailer to hold my portable welder. They’re doing the job well. Make the whole thing look better too!



by:

Great quality wheels and great service, only I wish I had purchased the valves to go along with the wheels.

We offer a metal valve stem as part # AM20906, which Id recommend instead of the rubber valve stems.

Bailey was very nice and helpful on the phone. Will definitely do business with her again

etrailer went above and beyond to help me get a wheel i needed in a very short period of time. etrailer associates kept me in the loop the whole shipping process to ensure i received it when needed. highly recommend them for your wheel purchases. It’s hard to find companies going above and beyond to help customers and etrailer certainly went above and beyond to help me in a desperate time of need. Thank you guys very much!

Product works great. Etrailer is truly one of a kind!



by:

These rims are perfect for my project... not a trailer, but a 1978 Toyota LandCruiser FJ40. They have the perfect 70s spoke look that is period correct for the ride. I didn't have any trouble getting tires (E-Rated) mounted or balanced at the big tire chain. I've put nearly 3000 miles on them already with no issues. I chose these because they had the correct backspacing and bolt pattern for the application, no interference in the front on full wheel lock, left or right. The USA made quality is certainly there; the powder-coating was just as uniform through the center of the wheel (not seen when the tire is mounted)as it is on the outside surfaces, unlike some foreign made stuff I saw at local trailer stores. Highly recommend, even though most of you reading this need it for a trailer. I tried uploading a picture, but it just says "was unsucccessful to upload".



by:

After careful consideration I purchased 5 16x6 Dexstar wheels for my enclosed car trailer. While installing the tires you could clearly SEE on the spin balancer that 2 of the rims "not tires" were out of round and required additional weight 3.75/2.25 to bring them into balance which is more than normal. I am uncertain of the factory tolerance however I would not recommend these wheels to a friend. If I had more time I would return. This was the reason I wanted to by wheels made in the USA and not ones made across the pond.



by:

As advertised, great price, quick free delivery for the 4 wheels. Converted my Arctic Fox Silver Edition from 15 inch to 16 inch LT225/75R16 E rated tires. Note, ST tires are not rated for more then 65 MPH. Most of us tow at that speed all day long and occasionally faster, risky with ST rated tires.



by:

Product was just what I needed. It was shipped very quickly esp during holiday season. I was informed all the way thru delivery. Very good service.

Working good



by:

Perfect upgrade to the 15" tires on my 5th wheel. Now I have a large selection for tires. I ordered valves stems too, but the wrong size (hole size). Probably my fault, but it would have been nice to be warned about the size difference. No big deal - valve stems are located all over, but the deal on these wheels are not. Thanks!



by:

A quality trailer rim. My trailer came with 15 inch wheels an so i was limited to a low rating for weight capacity. These rims were cheap yet true and a good weight rating.



by:

These 16" wheels were as described. A good value that solved my problem.
I wish that I had purchased them earlier.



by:

These wheels are an outstanding bargain and were shipped and received at my home in unbelievable time frame. This order is proof that this company is certainly # 1 in customer satisfaction! Great company with can do attitude employees!

Great, they still look new and have worked with my sons camper!

Exact match for the rim I was replacing



by:

Can't say enough good about this company. Their followup communication is tops. Shipping was extemely fast, even though I used the cheapest method (they upgraded me for free). I have, and will continue to buy from etrailer.com!



by:

both tire and wheel holding up well . good quality and good price. Thank you.



by:

Exactly what I needed



by:

Good quality rim. It was used (couldn’t wait for delayed delivery of a new one) and has a couple of nicks on the backside, but other than that its good.



by:

Fair price, fast, safe shipping. Pam from sales was awesome!
Website is easy to use and place orders.



by:

Don't have a picture but the product that I bought was just as expected and worked great. I would suggest shopping with Etrailer to everyone.



by:

Product is as advertised and a good value! Finish an appearance is great. Tire mounted with no problems.

I received my wheel just as I ordered and ahead of schedule. Great company to do business with. Will certainly be doing more business with them.

  • Recommended Rim for a 245/75 R16 Light Truck Tire
    We have wheels that work for you but the Dexstar # AM20741 isn't wide enough for your tires. A 245/75 R16 size tire needs at least a 6-1/2 inch wide rim. We carry a few 16 inch wheels that are that wide, such as # AM22657. You may be better off going with a 235/80 R16, like # TA39VR, which is basically the same diameter as the 245/75 R16 size. You will also have the benefit of a trailer tire with a thicker sidewall instead of the LT truck tires. Some LT tires are rated for trailer...

  • Valve Stem Recommendation for Use with the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20741
    The valve stem I would recommend for the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20741 that you referenced is the part # AM20906. This valve stem will fit the wheel and can handle 100 psi and greater. The rim hole diameter this valve stem is designed to fit is .625". I attached an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out as well.

  • Replacement Trailer Wheels to Fit 215/85-16 Size Tires
    First of all your tire size, 215/85-16 sounds like it's a passenger vehicle tire and not a trailer tire. Trailer tire sizes begin with "ST" for special trailer. I recommend using ST tires because they have a stiffer sidewall to handle the vertical load of a trailer. If your tires are trailer tires then you're good to go. But if they aren't I would get some trailer tires. The exception is that some LT tires can be used on trailers. Your 7.50-16's that you had were likely LT tires....

  • Highest Available Load Rating for 16-Inch Trailer Wheels with 6-on-5-1/2 Bolt Pattern
    All available 16-inch trailer wheels with the 6-on-5-1/2 bolt pattern, such as Dexstar # AM20741 that you referenced, can be seen on the link provided. Most of these wheels are rated for 3050-lbs at 90-psi pressure. Part # AM22657 from Americana is rated for 3200-lbs at 80-psi; parts # AM22658HWTB and # AM22658HWT are rated for 3580-lbs at 80-psi, which is the highest rating we offer. The valve stem used can also affect overall pressure. If your trailer itself is rated for 36000-lbs...

  • Maximum Air Pressure of Dexstar 16 x 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20741
    According to Dexstar Wheel, the # AM20741 wheel has a maximum load rating of 3050 lbs at 90 psi. So, 90 psi would be the maximum air pressure. We recommend using # AM20906 for a valve stem. I'll link you to our trailer tire/wheel FAQ article, which I hope you'll find helpful.

  • Availability of Load Range E Tires for a 15 Inch Galvanized Boat Trailer Wheel with ST225/75R15 D
    At this time we do not carry a load range E 15 inch trailer tire to replace the tires on your trailer. The ST225/75R15 trailer tires we carry, item # AM10256, have a capacity of 2,540 lbs at 65 psi, and should be sufficient for the axle and components on your trailer. Going to a higher capacity tire could possibly make other components on the the weakest link and subject to fail.

  • Benefit of Changing 5th Wheel Trailer Tires from Load Range C to Load Range E
    Thank you for the photo of your Rockwood Signature 5th wheel. You can change your 5th wheel's ST225/75R/15 Load Range C radial tires to a higher Load Range (D or E) if you like but this will not necessarily increase the trailer's gross weight rating unless the tires are the lowest-rated component. Moving to a higher-capacity tire can reduce the tires' operating temperature and this can be beneficial since heat is a trailer tire's worst enemy. You will want to ensure your spare is the...

  • Is There a 5 Bolt 16" Diameter Wheel for Trailers Im looking for a 16inch 5 lug basic spoked r
    I do have some options for you but a trailer wheel with 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern is only offered in an 8-15" diameter. The largest being 15" so if that is what you're after I recommend the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel part # AM20522 which is a standard design for trailers. In order to upgrade to a 16" wheel you'll need at least a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern so then you can use an option like the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel part # AM20741. That said, this would require a hub change...

  • 16" Wheel w/ a 6 on 5-1/2 Lug Pattern that is 6-1/2" Wide
    The only 16" x 6-1/2" rim we have with a 6 on 5-1/2 lug pattern is going to be the HWT Split Spoke Trailer Wheel item # AM22658HWT which is aluminum. This is the only wheel wider than 6" that does not have the larger 8 lug pattern. Depending on what size your tire is we do have a couple of 16" wheel tire combos with 6 on 5-1/2 lug patterns that are on steel wheels. I have listed them below both of these would make great spare tires: Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" White...

  • Do you Carry 16 inch Wheels with a 5 Bolt Lug Pattern for a Cargo Trailer with 3,500 lbs Axles
    At this time we do not carry 16 inch wheels with a 5 bolt pattern or a lower profile tire. You would be best suited to stay with a 15 inch wheel and the highest rated tire available bias ply tire for 15 inch wheels, like the Karrier ST225/75D15 Bias Ply Trailer Tire - Load Range D, item # AM1ST96. This will give you a set of tires that are rated higher than the trailer axles so you will not have to worry about overloading the tires, unless the trailer itself is overloaded. Bias ply tires...

  • Is There a Benefit to Going to a Larger Tire Size
    Yes and no. Yes because if you plan on loading your trailer up to the max GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) then larger tires will last longer simply because they won't be under as much stress. With that being said, as long as you aren't exceeding the weight rating of smaller tires and you are able to remain under the speed rating then the benefit will be minimal. Another thing to note about upgrading the tire size is that you might not have the real estate to properly do so. We recommend...

  • Recommended Trailer Rims For A 1988 International Trailer
    The 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern will be very typical of a 16" rim, but the 3-1/2" pilot hole is odd. Usually, a wheel of this size will have a 4.25" or 4.27" pilot hole. so you may be right about the previous owner changing the wheels out. With that said, as trailer wheels are lug centric, the pilot hole is less critical than the pilot hole on a hub centric vehicle wheel. As to this being the correct size for your 1988 International trailer, as long as you have at least 3" from the top of...

  • Trailer Tire Replacement for Tire Size of 8.75-16.5 Tires on Heavy Duty Trailer
    Your current 8.75-16.5 tires have an overall diameter of 30.5" and an overall width of 8.75". The closest trailer tire size available to that is 235/80-16 which has an overall diameter of 30.9" and an overall width of about 9.25". So height-wise the tires will be very similar and even though the width is an extra 0.5" it's important to note that as far as clearance goes you're only adding 0.25".

This tire would also require a larger wheel like the # AM20741 you were looking at and a hub with the bolt pattern to match. The outer diameter is 31.6" so it will be roughly an inch taller when compared to your current tires which are typically 29.4" in diameter.

  • At What Age Should Trailer Tires Get Replaced
    Trailer tires should be replaced about every 6 or 7 years, even if the tread is still in good shape. As tires age, they can crack and dry rot. Continuing to use the existing tires would be dangerous. If you'd care to reply with the current size of the tires you have, I'd be happy to make a recommendation.

Generally, 16 inch wheels are used on larger trailers that have heavier axles that use a different bolt pattern like 6 on 5-1/2 or 8 on 6-1/2.
