This tire-and-wheel assembly is made for serious hauling. The Provider 215/75R17.5 radial tire has a 16-ply rating and carries up to 4,805 lbs at 123 psi with a speed rating J (62 mph). The matching steel wheel is rated for 5,956 lbs, giving solid margin for highway use. With double steel belts, double polyester cords, and nylon overlays that help prevent tread separation, it’s designed to stay cool and dependable mile after mile.
Moisture, salt, and road grime don’t stand a chance against the wheel’s finishing process. It starts with a zinc phosphate bath for paint adhesion, followed by an e-coat acrylic primer base, and finishes with baked-on white DuPont powder coat on both sides. That layered protection keeps the modular steel wheel looking clean while guarding against rust long term.
The radial design keeps rolling resistance low and heat buildup in check when towing at highway speeds. Nylon tread-firming belt overlays help maintain even contact with the pavement and reduce wear. Plus, the tread is regroovable (where allowed by law) for added mileage, and visible tread depth bars make it easy to spot when it’s time for replacement.
The 17-1/2" x 6-3/4" hub-piloted wheel centers on the hub itself for a precise connection. It uses an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, +0.08" offset, and a 4.76" pilot diameter. Flange nuts (sold separately) are required for mounting. Every assembly meets DOT specifications and exceeds Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for reliable on-road performance.
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"

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this Taskmaster Provider 215/75R17.5 radial tire in a load range H on this 17.5 inch white modular wheel with an offset, and an eight on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now, this tire wheel assembly's ideal for heavy duty trucks and trailers. The wheel is a heavy-duty steel wheel. It is the modular design.
When we say modular design, that's the one that has the round holes all the way around the wheel. It is sturdy and corrosion-resistant. The wheel does go through a three-step finishing process, which will include, first, the zinc phosphate bath, then an e-coat primer, and then a nice white powder coat on both sides of the wheel. Now, this wheel is a hub piloted wheel, which means it'll center on this hub so that it will require a close fit of the center pilot hole on the wheel to the hub. The pilot hole diameter is 4.76 inches.
And hub pilot wheels do require the use of flange nuts for installation. Now, those we do sell separately on our website. They do use a flange nuts size of 5/8 inch by 18, and they're usually listed on this product page as a related product. Now, this wheel does have a positive offset of 0.08 inches. And a positives offset is when the hub mounting surface, so this is your mounting surface, will go up against your hub.
So basically, when it is in front, here's the wheel center line. Right down the middle is the center line of the wheel. So when it's a positive offset, that means it's in front of that wheel center line, so a positive offset will move the tire towards the center line of the trailer. Now, the tire on this is a radial tire. It is constructed with double steel belts, double polyester cords for a nice long life.
It's great for highway use. They do use a nylon tread firming belt overlay to help prevent tread separation, and the tire itself is bake tested to ensure that the rubber holds up over time. It is created specifically for heavy duty trucks and trailers, not intended for use on other vehicles. And this assembly does meet the DOT which is Department of Transportation, specifications, and it will exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Zoom in again. We'll talk about the wheel. The measurement on the wheel, the diameter on the wheel is 17 1/2 inches. The width on just the wheel itself is 6 3/4 inches. The bolt pattern on this wheel is an eight on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern. And if you want to measure that on a wheel, that's an even number of lugs, in this case, eight holes. You just pick any hole, because the holes are directly across from each other, so when you go to measure it, pick any hole, measure from the center of that hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this wheel, it'll measure 6 1/2 inches, so it's an eight on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern. The weight capacity on just the wheel is 6,005 pounds. Now the tire size, which is stamped on the sidewall, right here, you can see 215/75R17.5 The R stands for a radial tire. Now the section width, which is gonna be the overall width of the tire, is 8.3 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 30.2 inches. This tire is a load range H, which means it's a 16 ply tire. Maximum load on it is 4,805 pounds at 123 psi. And the last thing I do wanna mention is most all your new tires are gonna have a speed rating on 'em. And they stamp it on the side wall with a letter designation. And where you find that is right after the tire size we went over, you'll see two numbers for the load index, and then they stamp a letter M. Speed rating M will mean this tire has an 81 mile per hour speed rating. But that should do it for the review on this Taskmaster Provider 215/75R17.5 radial tire in a load range on this 17 1/2 inch white modular wheel with the offset, and an eight on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern..

its a spare and holing up fine. I cant say much other than when asked for a 1 year review all I could do was go out, look at condition from being exposed to weather and check pressure. Pressure wa good still and tire looks as goos as it did a year ago.

I reached out to Taskmaster and confirmed that the tire now comes with the Vesper wheel by Maxion. We are working to update our pictures once we have the tires in stock.

I purchased one more of these tire wheel combinations several months ago to use as a spare for the trailer. Ive never had a spare tire that was identical to the originals. Same excellent service from etrailer.
