Question:

How do I measure for the 5 on 5 mounting bolt dimensions? I know for even amounts of bolt holes you measure center to center but I though I saw for odd patterns you don't do center to center. How do I know if this works or not?

Thanks for reaching out, I'd be happy to help clear things up for you!

To determine if the 5 on 5" bolt pattern of the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA27RR matches your trailer you need to measure from the center of one hole to the farthest edge of either bolt holes opposite of it. If that measures 5" then you have the 5 on 5" bolt pattern. If that measures 4-1/2" (which is a much more common measurement) then you need the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # MX34FR instead.

Attached are review videos for both wheels as well as a link to a helpful article on how to measure bolt patterns for you to check out.
