The Aluminum Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 7" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 # LHJM513 has a 4.88" pilot diameter and will work for your horse trailer. Ther pilot diameter does not have to match your old wheel because this wheel fits over the lugs of your hub, and not the pilot hole, so you just need the correct size lug nuts to match your hub.

This wheel is compatible with the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 9/16"-18 # LHLR110.

For a center cap you can use the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Center Cap # LHCS109 and add the Snap-In Plug for Lionshead Trailer Wheel Center Caps # LHSI60C.

I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well, including of the Aluminum Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 7" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 # LHJM513.

The Aluminum Modular Trailer Wheel # LHJM513 does have a 3,750 lb capacity, and assuming your trailer is a double axle, this will not come into play. Additionally, if your tire is rated for a lower capacity than the wheel, such as the 235/85R16 Kenda # AM10295 which is rated for 3,640 lbs, you would go by that maximum capacity.
