This wheel was made for serious weight handling. Rated at 5,675 lbs and built from fine-grained steel, it’s strong enough for dual-wheel duty. The ±5.59" offset means it fits perfectly as either the inner or outer position in a dual setup, helping keep your load centered and balanced. It’s a hub-piloted design using flange nuts (sold separately) for a solid, secure mount every time.
Rust doesn’t stand a chance with this wheel’s triple-layer process. It starts with a zinc phosphate bath, then an e-coat primer, and finishes with baked-on silver DuPont powder coat on both sides. That full-coverage finish keeps the metal sealed against moisture and road grime for lasting durability and a clean look season after season.
The 8 on 275 mm bolt circle and 8.7" pilot diameter make this wheel easy to match to the right hub setup. It uses 5/8"-18 lug nuts and a hub-piloted center for confident alignment and secure installation. Whether you’re setting up one wheel or a full dual pair, the dimensions are consistent and clearly defined for dependable fitment.
Each wheel comes with a metal valve stem already in place, so you’re ready to mount your tires without extra parts runs. If you prefer longer stems for easier access, valve extenders like the Wheel Masters #WM8001 or #WM8001-135 can be added to suit your setup while keeping inflation simple and quick.
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Today we're going to take a look at the Taskmaster silver 17 1/2-inch by 6 3/4-inch heavy duty steel dual wheel. It is a hub-piloted design, and it has a bolt pattern of 8 on 275 millimeters. Now, this heavy-duty wheel is designed for use on dually trucks, buses and trailers. You can see the offset on it allows this wheel to be used as either an inner or an outer wheel of a dual-wheel setup. The steel wheel itself has the four hand holds. I can turn a little bit. You can see there's one each side here and one at the top and one at the very bottom.
It's very sturdy and corrosion resistant. The wheel goes through a three-step finishing process, which will first include a zinc phosphate bath, then an e-coat primer, and then silver powder coat on both sides of the wheels. The center disk, right here in the middle, it's spun form from a fine-grain steel. You can see all the way around it's welded into place for strength and durability. It is a hub-piloted wheel, so it does require the use of 90-degree cone lug nuts when installing this. We do sell those separately on our website.
The metal valve stem is included. See if I can turn it around so you can get to see that. Here's your metal valve stem. It has an angle to it, so you can access it. This wheel does meet the SAEJ1204 standards. A few specs on this: The dimension of the wheel ...
Let's turn it this way and get a better . Is 17 1/2 inches, and that's always measured inside to inside. The width on it is 6 3/4 inches. Now, the bolt pattern, this is your large bolt pattern right here, is an 8 on 275 millimeters, so actually the millimeters translates also to about 10.83 inches. If you just measure on a wheel that has an even number of lugs, in this case 8, just measure directly across, center to center ...
You can see if we go center to center you get 10.83 inches. It does use the wheel lug size I had mentioned of 5/8 by 18 and it does require the 90-degree cone lug nuts. Again, we sell these separately. I happened to pull one here. It's part number 6-109. It's designed to go right in there. The weight capacity on this is 5,675 pounds. The pilot hole diameter, which is this large hole right here that goes over the hub on your axle . Can see if we measure across, is going to be right at 8.7 inches, and this wheel does have an offset of positive or negative, depending if you use it as an inner or outer wheel of 5.59 inches offset. That should do it for the review on the Taskmaster silver 17 1/2 by 6 3/4-inch heavy duty steal dual wheel hub-piloted design with the 8 on 275-millimeter bolt pattern.
