Question:

Im looking for a conventional style wheel that accepts a baby moon cap to replace 4 Dexstar Wheels on my travel trailer plus the spare. Specs on the current wheel are as follows: Rime Size: 14 X 5.5 JJ Bolt Circle: 5-4.5 Pilot Diameter: 3.19 Stud Size: 1/2inch - 20 60* Offset: 0 Capacity and PSI: 2040 @ 65PSI. Its a small 18 foot trailer that weighs about 3000 lbs so that load rating on the OE wheel may be overkill. I measured the circumference of the axle to be 8.375 inches - so my axle diameter is 2.67 inches. Your Dexstar convention wheel has a pilot diameter of 2.62 which I think is too small for my axle,,,,,, but keep in mind that Im no expert on the subject. What are my options? Would welcome your guidance.

The Dexstar Conventional Trailer Wheel part # AM20304 would work well for you as it matches the wheel size and bolt pattern that you have. The pilot diameter being smaller would only matter if the grease cap area of your current hub is larger than 2.62 inches. You'll need to measure that to be certain.

Then for a baby moon cover to fit this you'll need the part # AM90086 and you'll be set.
