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"

Not as shiny as I was hoping for, but definitely better than any other option I could find in a 14 inch wheel.

Good looking set of wheels... glad I bought them. I wanted a clean looking aluminum wheel...not too flashy... these are perfect!

Very pleased with my purchase. Haven't had any balance issues, discoloring, dulling, or signs of wear and tear! My only small complaint is the stickers that come on the rims from the factory are EXTREMELY hard to remove. Googone and gasoline didn't do the trick. I pressure washed them at least a dozen times before the sticker film was no longer visible.

Awesome product, and a beautiful looking wheel. But please stop putting stickers on them that contain glue!! Its a pain getting the glue off.

Close as I could find to my 1996 boat wheel, reasonably priced. Bought a couple more small items and got free shipping that I upgraded to 2 day for only a few bucks more. This is my 3rd order from e-trailer. Won't be my last. Great communication when one item was back ordered, gave me options with the notice so I could keep my delivery date. Couldn't expect any smoother.

Ask the Experts about this HWT Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Lug Nuts for Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 and Series S5 Trailer WheelThe Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Mod Trailer Wheel # AM22327 and Aluminum Hi-Spec Series S5 Trailer Wheel # AM22330HWTB will use standard 60-degree cone lug nuts such as the Kodiak Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # KALN1375S. This is a stainless steel lug nut, which can be used with the aluminum HWT wheels because the wheels do already have a steel insert to prevent any type of galvanic corrosion. Then for a valve stem you can use the Americana Snap-In Valve Stem # AM20903 (up to 65 psi) or...
view full answer... - Rust Resistant Center Cap For Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Mod Trailer Wheel AM22327The Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Mod Trailer Wheel part # AM22327 does not include a center cap. The pilot hole size is 3.19". I recommend to use Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Stainless Steel - 3.19" Pilot part # AM90175 which is stainless steel for rust prevention. It also comes with a removable cap for EZ lube axles.

- What is the Offset of a Trailer WheelTrailer or automotive wheels can have a positive or negative offset. The offset refers to the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel that touches the hub and the center line of the wheel, as shown in the diagram I have edited for you. A positive offset will move the tire closer to the trailer, while a negative offset will push the tire further away. Most of the trailer wheels we offer, including the Americana Aluminum Mod wheel you referenced, part # AM22327, have a zero...

- Availability of 14 inch Trailer WheelsWe have several 14 inch wheels available in a variety of finishes, but none of them are chrome. If you check out the link I attached to the right you will see all of the 14 inch wheels we carry. Probably the closest wheel we have to what you are looking for is the Americana Aluminum Mod Trailer Wheel # AM22327 that has a polished aluminum finish. While it's not quite chrome it is very similar. This wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. See link on determining bolt patterns if you...
view full answer... - Availability of Aluminum HWT Mod Trailer Wheel in a 15 inch Diameter I attached a page that has all of the 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern 15 inch wheels we offer, but none of them are the Mod style wheel like the part # AM22327 that you referenced. Since the 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern isn't very common you might actually have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. If so, you would then want the part # AM22627 as it is the wheel style you are looking for in a very similar size. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. I attached a help article that...
view full answer... - How To Determine If My Current Tires Will Fit This WheelYes, your tires should fit the HWT Hi-Spec Trailer Wheel, Item # AM22327, so long as they are 14 inch tires. A 5-1/2 inch rim is pretty common size for a 14 inch tire. I have attached additional information and videos for you to check out that should help with your project.
view full answer... - Tire Recommendation for the Americana Aluminum Mod Trailer Wheel # AM22327Yes, the Americana Aluminum Mod Trailer Wheel # AM22327 that you referenced will work with a trailer tire sized ST205/75R14. For a tire in that size I would recommend the part # AM10235. See review video. This is a radial tire in a Load Range D. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, especially when the tire is under a load. A tire that runs cooler...
view full answer... - Maximum PSI for Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Trailer WheelA rim in and of itself is not rated for a specific psi. The valve stem is actually what determines the pressure a rim can withstand. You'll see some rims on our website that list a rating and that is because they include a valve stem. The Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Trailer Wheel, part # AM22327, that you asked about does not include a valve stem so you'll need to add them. To fit this rim we carry part # AM20903 rated up to 65 psi and part # AM20904 which is rated up to 80 psi.
view full answer... - Is there a Hub Stud Length Requirement for Americana Aluminum Mod Trailer Wheel AM22327The studs on the hub should be long enough to mount the Amricana wheel # AM22327 but you will need to use longer lug nuts such as # 12CLN-L because regular lug nuts will be too short and it will be difficult to get a socket on them.
view full answer... - Will a ST 21575R14 Tire Fit a Americana Aluminum Mod Trailer Wheel # AM22327 The Americana Aluminum Mod Trailer Wheel # AM22327 that you referenced will fit the ST 21575R14 tires you have. To determine if the wheel will fit your axle you will need to determine the bolt pattern of the hubs you have on your trailer. These have a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches. I attached an FAQ to the right that details how to determine wheel bolt patterns.
view full answer... - Goodyear Endurance or Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Tire for Boat Trailer at Higher Highway SpeedsIn terms of speed rating the Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # 724864519 is certainly superior to the Kenda Karrier # AM10235, as it features an 87 mph maximum speed (compared to 81 mph on the Kenda). Based on your question, where it seems like you regularly dip into the 80's on the highway on the way to the ocean, this superior speed rating alone does push me towards the Goodyear Endurance Tire. The high speed rating though isn't the only thing that sets the Goodyear...
view full answer... - Which is a Better Wheel to Use in Saltwater - Steel, Galvanized, or AluminumAlthough the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20315 has a e-coat primer and black powder coat finish, this is option is much more prone to rust over an aluminum or galvanized rim. The powder coat finish is mainly for common trailer use so it doesn't have to be as resistant since saltwater typically isn't in the equation. When it comes to a good, better, best for saltwater resistance the powder coat doesn't really make the cut. Good is a galvanized finish like the 14" x 6" Americana...
view full answer... - What Kind of Finish Does the Dexstar Steel Directional Trailer Wheel # AM20377 HaveThe Dexstar Steel Directional Trailer Wheel # AM20377 that you referenced is a powdercoated silver. For a rim in the same size with a finish as close to chrome as we offer you would want the part # AM22327 that is polished aluminum.

If you wanted something to match on both sides, I have always been a fan of the modular style wheels, like the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 14" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black PVD Finish # 460545MBPVD or the Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Mod Trailer Wheel - 14" x 5-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2...
