Is there a Trailer Wheel that Fits a 4 on 3 Inch Bolt Pattern
Updated 01/13/2026 | Published 05/24/2014
Question:
I have a boat trailer that has 4 on 3 bolt pattern wheel with a 4.80x 8 tire. I am trying to find a replacement for it and I am having no luck. Do they still make these wheels?

First, let's make sure that you are measuring the bolt pattern correctly. I have included a link to an article showing how to measure for bolt pattern. On a wheel or hub that has an even number of studs or holes all you have to do is measure from the center of one hole or stud straight across the center of the wheel to the center of the one across from it.
If that is how you are measuring and still come up with a 4 on 3 bolt pattern then we do not have a wheel that will fit. But you may be able to change the hubs to a standard size so this doesn't happen again. I would just need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the metal of the bearings to determine if we have something that will fit.

I have an old trailer with bolt pattern 4 on 3" wheels also, and am not seeing any replacement wheels. I assume that you still don't have any? Thanks
