6-on-5-1/2 Bolt Pattern 15-Inch Trailer Wheel with 3.65-Inch Pilot Hole

Updated 02/05/2018 | Published 02/03/2018

Question:

I have a trailer with 8-201 hubs that are 6 on 5.5. I need a 15 inch wheel. All I have found has a 4.25 center hole and my hub carries a 3 5/8 center hole wheel, where can I find this size wheel

When choosing a new hub/drum you want to match up a few things, including your wheel size and the set of bearings used in the hub. The bearings in the new hubs have to be the same as those in your current hubs in order for them to fit on your spindles. You also need to match the wheel bolt pattern and the hub weight capacity.

I have linked for you both our page for hubs in your bolt pattern and that are compatible with 15-inch trailer wheels and also our page for trailer wheels in your bolt pattern. These wheels do have a pilot hole diameter of 4.25-inches or 4.27-inches.

Since these hubs center your wheels using the lugs (they are lug-centric) it does not matter if the wheel pilot hole is larger than on your hubs. But we do have Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20514 that has a 3.65-inch pilot hole.
