Question:

Ive been looking for a wheel rim for our Rice Richardson horse box trailer after a wheel sheared from the hub during a long journey. We never found the wheel nor had a spare available. The stud pattern is 5 on a 6inch PCD and the diameter is 15. I cant find anything for toffee with this stud pattern. Any ideas as to where else I can look?

That wheel bolt pattern is not anything standard, so I only have one solution for you and that is to replace the hubs and wheels so you will have the standard bolt pattern to have compatibility. I've attached an article to assist with measuring the bolt pattern to confirm first.

Then if you need the newer hubs, you will need to pull one hub and check both the inner and outer bearing as well as the seal for part numbers. The bearings will have this number imprinted on the face. If you can't find that number, then you can use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to measure the trailer spindle in the bearing locations as well as the seal location. I've attached a photo to assist as well as a video.

I've linked the page to all your options. If you need more help, let me know your bearing numbers or the measurements of your spindle and I'd be happy to help.
