The bolt pattern of a wheel is defined by two numbers: the number of bolt holes and the diameter of the circle (in inches) that they form, measured through the centers of the bolt holes. For example, a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern defines a wheel that has 5 bolt holes spaced out evenly along a circle that has a 5-1/2" diameter (see picture).

I have attached a helpful article that shows you how to measure the bolt pattern on your trailer. On an even amount of bolts you would take the measurement from the center of one bolt to the bolt directly across from it as explained in the attached article.

I have also attached a couple of links to helpful articles about tires.
