Measuring Bolt Pattern to Determine if 6 Lug Wheel Fits Trailer

Question

Question:

Two things: ONE The information on the page where this tire/wheel combo is sold AM32684 is confusing where it describes how to determine the bolt pattern. We have old steel six-bolt wheels currently. If I measure center-to-center between two bolts that are directly ACROSS from each other, I get 5.5. So I would think I should order 6 on 5.5 wheels, which is what AM32684 is. BUT, If I measure center-to-center between two bolts that are NEXT to each other, I get 2 3/4, so would need to find 4 3/4inch wheels. Am I correct that the second measuring method is only for ODD 5-bolt wheels?? The info doesnt say so. TWO Do I need to order chrome lug nuts and center caps, and if so, which ones?

So your bolt pattern is 6 on 5-1/2 inch and I will agree that the info below is confusing for the product page of # AM32684 since this is a 6 bolt wheel and the info is only relevant for 5 lug wheels:

Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

I sent an update to have it removed or edited.

For chrome lug nuts and center cap you would need to order those separately. For the lugs part # 12CLN and for the center cap # 425EZ and you'd be set.

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…

Answer 5

The inner diameters of the LM67048 and 15123 both are the same (1.250 inches). That means that a hub with either bearing in the outer bearing would fit your spindle. The part #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K would fit your axle.

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
