There are a few trailer wheel center caps that fit pilot hole diameters of about 5 inches, but not precisely 5 inches, which are the following:

- 4.90" Pilot Diameter: Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Stainless Steel # AM90156C

- 4.90" Pilot Diameter: Trailer Wheel Center Cap, Stainless Steel # 490EZ-SS

- 5.12" Pilot Diameter: Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - 5.12" - Chrome # AM90083

- 5.15" Pilot Diameter: Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - 5.15" Pilot - Stainless Steel # AM90078

As you can see these are both similar sizes so you will want to be sure of your exact pilot hole diameter before choosing, which you can do with Digital Caliper # PTW80157.

Do you by any chance mean 235/80-16 and 235/85-16? Because there isn't a 275 trailer tire size that I have seen. If so then the widths are the same between the two 235 sizes. The difference is overall diameter. The 235/80-16 is 30.9 inches in…

Hey Austin, for trailer wheels like what we carry the vast majority of them have a zero offset. Most of the time this is listed in the descriptions but if it's not then it would be safe to assume it's zero. If it's not zero though it will…

The offset of a wheel refers to the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel that touches the hub and the center line of the wheel. A negative offset will move the tire away from the trailer, while a positive offset will move the tire…
