Hello Ed, thanks for reaching out. We do offer some 16" 8-lug wheels, but nothing with a 4.80 pilot. For example the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - White # MX27FR has a 4.88" pilot and a 4,460 lb capacity which is one of the heaviest load capacities available for this size tire. If you think the 4.88" pilot will work for you, the # MX27FR is definitely what I recommend.

Hey Ed, did the Vesper steel modular wheel with the 4.88 pilot end up working for your setup? Knowing how that fit turned out could help others looking for a heavy-duty 16-inch wheel.
