Our best chrome wheel covers we offer for an 8 lug trailer wheel is the part # PXQT965CHN which is made by Phoenix USA. These basically just snap right into place, but they stay on very well and look great too.

Answer 4

A Dexter 8k hub would have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern like what the part #TA45ZR has. This is also a 17.5 inch diameter trailer wheel. For a mod style wheel instead, we have the part #TA35ZR.

Answer 5

Hey Robert, To find your offset you'll need to measure from the mounting surface of your lugs to both outer edges of your current wheels. A negative offset will move the tire further away from the trailer while a positive offset brings the tire…

Answer 6

It might be possible to change out the studs in your hub from 9/16 to 5/8 if they are drive-in studs and not the type that threads in. If they are drive in and the diameter of the knurl end is approximately 0.6875 inches then you can replace them. We…

No, it still matters Mike. The Hub-Piloted Solid Center Wheel w -0.5" Offset item #AM32NR still relies on the lug nuts to center the wheel on the hub. Using 9/16" lug studs with 5/8" holes is going to cause wobble and you'll break…

A negative offset like the offset on the Americana Modular Wheel w/ -0.5 Offset - 17-1/2" x 6-3/4" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver #AM22461 reduces the back-spacing. Since this is a 6-3/4" wide rim that means the back-spacing is 3-7/8"…

Answer 10

I am a little confused where you are getting the 7-3/4 inches from on a 6-3/4 inch wide wheel. Even on a hub-piloted wheel the hub would still be near the center of the wheel. Would you possibly be able to explain a bit more where you got that…

Answer 12

Backspacing is the distance from the mounting surface to the outer edge of the wheel. You can use a straight edge and a ruler to determine this or if you know the listed width of the wheel and the offset you can determine it from that. Assuming…
