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"

Sturdy, stylish aluminum trailer wheel is lightweight, provides superior corrosion protection and meets Department of Transportation standards.by: Robert 01/18/2024
Wheels look good and have held up well. Have put around 7000 miles on them and no issues except with the plastic cap. Have lost two so far. Also lug nuts need to be short enough for cap to fit over.
by: Frank12/10/2023
Center caps are very poor quality cheap plastic. Stayed on until it got cold. Soon as it got cold one broke off well driving one week and the next week the other was missing. I didn’t even tighten the screw tight. Call for a replacement and the price was almost the same as buying a wheel. Now they look bad with no center caps
by: Teddy D. 07/27/2014
Placed order on a Monday night and it arrived at the house the following Monday. I would recommend these wheels to any one who wants there trailer to look great while going down the highway. Etrailer has good quality products at a great price would recommend this company to anyone.

Thanks for the follow up. We do have the 14 inch wheels available as part # AM22328. Currently we do not have a 16 inch option at this time.

Great looking rims. I put these on my travel trailer and my cargo trailer a year ago. Would purchase again. Really dresses up your rig. Good quality product

Absolutely hands down the best costumer service I have ever received! Spoke with Julie and she got my reorder out the same day and it was at my door in 3! As for the Hi-Spec rim; very high quality aluminum wheel. They are stock on my 2013 Crossroads Cruiser Aire Travel Trailer.

See what our Experts say about this HWT Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Max Air Pressure Rating for Hi Spec HWT Trailer RimsI spoke to my contact at HWT and they informed me that the PSI rating for their wheels like the part # AM20455 is limited by the valve stem and tire that is used in the wheel.
view full answer... - Trailer Wheel Recommendation for a Commercial Marine TrailerThe Americana Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455 that you referenced is a 15 inch diameter wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern so it would fit your setup. Only potential issue is the weight capacity. This wheel has a capacity of 2,830 lbs, you need to determine the overall weight of your trailer when loaded to determine if these wheels would work for you. However many wheels your trailer has you will need to multiply 2,830 lbs by and then compare that to the weight your...
view full answer... - Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel BackspacingThe backspacing of the Aluminum HiSpec wheel part # AM20455 is 3 inches.
view full answer... - 7,000 lb Axles or 6,000 lb Axles for a Trailer Weighing 5,700 lbs UnloadedI would recommend the 7,000 axle setup. Once your RV is loaded up and ready to tow you could easily eat up that 300 lbs of capacity you have left. The 7k axles would give you enough capacity that you would not have to worry about exceeding the axle capacity for your trailer.
view full answer... - How to Determine Square Trailer Axle CapacitySquare axles can be tough to determine capacity. However, most 12 inch brake drums that have 6 lugs have between a 5,200 and 6,000 lb rating so it would seem you have axles with around that capacity. Those leaf springs are very thick as well.

- What Is Size of Screw That Holds Hubcap of HWT Series 06 Trailer Wheel # AM20455I contacted our representative at Americana, and she informed me that the screw for the HWT Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455 measures 6 mm by 20 mm.
view full answer... - Compatibility of HWT Hi-Spec Wheel on a Travel Trailer with a 15 Inch 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt PatternYes the center caps do come with the HWT High-Spec # AM20455 Wheels. Depending on your weight capacity and wheel bolt size, these wheels do match up with your 15 inch and 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. This wheel has a load capacity of 1,820lbs, has a pilot diameter of 3.19 inches, a wheel bolt size of 1/2 inch-20. If all these specifications will work for your trailers and its capacity then this wheel will be a great fit for you. If you get different measurements or need another load capacity,...
view full answer... - Backspacing of Hi-Spec Series 06 Aluminum Trailer Wheel AM20455BThe Hi-Spec Series 06 Aluminum Trailer Wheel # AM20455B will work just fine on your trailer that has disc brakes. This wheel has back spacing of 3-5/8-inches. This is measured from the inside mounting surface (that contacts the hub face) to the extreme inside edge of the rim (not to the tire bead seat, which is a shorter distance). I confirmed this spacing in our warehouse. You can refer to the linked photo that I prepared for you to see this measurement.

- Will HWT Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 06 Trailer Wheel Fit Over Dexter EZ Lube HubsOne of my fellow experts had a question very similar to this the other day. When he went out to the warehouse to measure the wheel's cap, he found it to be plenty large enough to accommodate the hub's grease cap. When installing the HWT Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 06 Trailer Wheel # AM20455B, you will want to keep the existing EZ lube grease cap on the hub, install the wheel, and then install the wheel cap over the hub and grease cap.
view full answer... - Does the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM22698B Include the Center CapYes, the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455B that you referenced does include the center cap. Like most trailer wheels this wheel has a zero offset.
view full answer... - Does HWT Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455B Have OffsetYes, the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455B has zero offset. Any trailer wheels that we offer will be noted as having either positive offset (wheel center moved closer to the trailer frame) or negative offset. If offset is not noted in the specs then the wheel has none. This 15 x 5 wheel accepts an ST205/75-15 trailer tire.
view full answer... - How to Determine if the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel Can Be Used on a Travel TrailerWhether the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455B will fit your 2019 Travel Trailer will depend on a few factors. One being the bolt pattern, the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455B uses a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern with 1/2"-20 wheel bolts. You'll also want to consider load capacity, the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455B has a load capacity of 1,820 lbs. per wheel. The rim dimensions are 15" diameter x 5" wide. As long as these rim dimensions,...
view full answer... - Do Trailer Wheel and Tire Combos Come Pre BalancedWhat our tire manufacturers will do is line up the light spot on the tire with the heavy spot on the wheel. This is a type of balancing and all that is required for trailer tires but is not like how car tires are balanced (with weights on a balancing machine). The tire and wheel combos we carry are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to as long as they have a pin plate adapter. When available I actually recommend the...
view full answer... - Will Center Cap of Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 06 Trailer Wheel Fit Over Bearing BuddyIt wouldn't be a problem for the center cap of the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 06 Trailer Wheel # AM20455B to fit over your Bearing Buddy. The linked photo shows the rear view of this wheel with the center cap in place. The arrows show the spacing from the hub surface to the inside of the center cap, which is 4-1/2-inches, as well as the inside diameter of the cap, which is 2-3/4-inches.

- Center Cap Recommendation for 3.19 inch Diameter Pilot HoleThe Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap, # AM90091, fits wheels with a 15-inch diameter and 5-hole bolt patterns (like # AM20455) with a 3.19-inch pilot hole. I have included a FAQ article about determining wheel bolt patterns for you to check out. The 6-inch width of these 15-inch diameter wheels is compatible with both 205/75R15 and 225/75R15 tire sizes, but not the size tire (235/75/15) you referenced. If you can measure the size of the pilot hole I will be happy to see if a wheel center...
view full answer... - Recommended Center Cap for 15 Inch Wheels on 2008 Starcraft TrailerThe Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Chrome # AM90091 is designed to fit 15 inch diameter wheels like # AM20455 that have a 5-hole bolt pattern and 3.19 inch pilot diameter. If this matches the wheels you have on your 2008 Starcraft Trailer, then this will work great. I have attached a video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly how it looks. I recommend measuring the pilot diameter of the wheels on your trailer to ensure that this will fit. I have also attached a...
view full answer... - How to Confirm Fit of Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap Series 06 # AM90091You want to check the wheel pilot hole diameter, its overall wheel diameter and its bolt pattern to match a center cap. The part you referenced, Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap Series 06 # AM90091, fits a specific 15-inch wheel with a 5-hole bolt pattern and 3.19-inch pilot hole, # AM20455. The link provided for you will let you see all center caps and you can find the correct ones by using the filters in the margin to select your pilot hole diameter.
view full answer... - Tire Size Recommended For Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455The Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455 is a 15" X 5" trailer wheel and should only be used with a trailer tire like the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10244. The P215/75R15 is a passenger car tire and does not have the correct construction for using with a trailer. The Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455 should also not be used on a passenger vehicle.
view full answer... - What Size Lug Nuts Do I Need For Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel AM20455Yes, the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel part # AM20455 has a wheel bolt size of 1/2 inch-20 so you can use the original 1/2-20 lug nuts like part # AM90049.
view full answer... - Recommended Valve Stem for the Americana Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM22652The recommended valve stem for use with the Americana Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455 that you referenced is the # AM20903 which is designed for .453 hole diameters.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Tire Size of ST225/75R15 Fit on Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 06 Wheel # TTWAL06156545SThe Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 06 Trailer Wheel # AM20455 that you referenced is compatible with the tire size ST225/75R15 like you mentioned. It would easily handle 80 psi too. Sounds like you have tires picked out already, but in the size you mentioned our best option is the Westlake ST225/75R15 part # LHWL304 which has a capacity of 2,830-lb max load at 80 psi, a speed rating of 75 mph and comes with a 2 year roadside assistance program. If your RV or trailer has a flat tire, call the...
view full answer... - High Load Range Tire and Valve Stem Recommendation for a Americana Hi-Spec Trailer Wheel # AM22652A ST225/75R15 trailer tire will fit the Americana Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM20455. The highest load range tire we offer in that size is the part # AM10303 which has a weight capacity of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi. For a set of valve stems that are rated for psi that high that would fit the rims you would want the # AM20904.
view full answer... - Availability of Trailer Wheels to Use with Americana Center Cap # AM90091 Yes we do! The Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap # AM90091 referenced in your question is specifically designed for the 15 inch Americana # AM22651 or # AM20455 Aluminum Trailer Wheels. Please note that the current models of these wheels actually include this center cap. I have attached a couple video demonstrations on both of these wheels that you can check out as well.
view full answer... - Could a 15 in Trailer Wheel and Tire be Replaced by a 16 inch Wheel and TireMost likely yes, but it really depends on how tight the clearances are on your trailer to know if you could fit a taller (by 2-3 inches) and wider tire. Another thing is your hub will need to have either a 6 on 5-1/2 inch or 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern for one of our 16 inch tire and rim combos to fit. If you are unsure of your bolt pattern check out the link I attached on determining bolt patterns to the right. For a wheel and tire combo for if you have a 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern...
