Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.

Bolt Pattern - Odd

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)

Bolt Pattern - Even

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)

Bolt Pattern - Side

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"

Happy with the Rims, however the order arrived incomplete, valve stems did not arrive. etrailer did take care of the issue but we really wanted the valve stems for the installation process.

A year later, all is perfect with the rims.



by:

Perfect fit. Color is metallic, not too far off the rest of my chrome wheels. Handles the 105 psi I run in my heavy 14 ply tires.



by:

Bought a few of these for our 4 horse living quarters horse trailer. Trailer is super heavy when fully loaded. Wheels have been excellent. Would recommend etrailer.

Needed a new rim for extra spare tire, e-trailer had the lowest cost and fast, FREE shipping. Rim is as advertised. Just what I needed! Thank you e-trailer you made shopping for the new rim SO easy.

It is unusual for these wheels to crack. Do you still have the wheel? Would you be able to send a picture? They have a weigtht capacity of 3,960 lbs and a two year warranty.

Dustin

5/8/2023

I do not have the wheel, it was on my 5th wheel and I forgot it at the tire shop In my rush to get back on the road for my nieces wedding, that is why I did not ask for warranty. It cracked where the center attached to the rim hoop. I run 80 psi in my tires. I am disappointed in the quality but everything has gone down in quality these days so I chalked it up to experience.



by:

Great price for a great wheel.



by:

Exact replacement for my horse trailer. Had to buy a spare because BISON furnished a spare but it was 6 lug and not 8 lug. By the time I needed a spare it was out of warranty. Not a good time to find out it does not fit with horses in trailer and on side of the road. Word of advice to anyone! Something else to check before leaving the lot with a new trailer. Fast ship! Thanks etrailer!

Perfect!

Happ so far no problems



by:

2 sets of wheels are warped out of round. Made my trailer shake terribly bad. I believe this is a manufacturing defect. I have ran these wheels in the past with no issues but both sets received are out of round. Had to order a different brand unfortunately chinese wheel but at least they are not warped.



by:

Purchased these for spares for our horse trailer. They are heavy! Good strong rims. We are putting these on a 38 ft horse trailer with LQ. Each axel is rated at 7k so these rims were perfect for that.

Jan F.

8/8/2014

I will be using these wheels on my horse trailer as well. My current wheels are gray but Im having trouble finding that color. Does the silver wheel that you ordered have a matte finish as opposed to shiny? I prefer the matte finish. Thanks for your help.

I purchased this for a second spare (RV) for our trip to Alaska. Good quality and fast shipping

Etrailer sets the example for positive shopping online! Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable folks taking the orders. My items were packed to protect them during shipping, and shipping was unbelievably fast. I will definitely do business with etrailer in the future and will recommend them to my friends.

Thank you etrailer and their great employees who helped me with my order!

Great prices. Shipping is really quick. Will definitely do business with etrailer again.

Your product is still great! I will definitely use you again.



by:

I purchased these rims because they're made in the USA. They're well made and are heavier due to increased load capacity. Rims were true and had very little run out, unlike the chinese made rims that came originally on my trailer. I would purchase these rims again.



by:

As always when i order from etrailer they provide excellent service and communication.

Thank you!!!!



by:

I ordered the Mini Mod Trailer Rim and Pop Up Roof Vents...the customer service was excellent and it was delivered very quickly. We will definitely remember your company in the future!

See what our Experts say about this Dexstar Trailer Tires and Wheels

  • Why aren't Trailer Wheels Rated for Max Air Pressure
    Typically wheels like the Dexstar Mod Wheel part # AM20794 are limited by the valve stem in terms of max air pressure which is why the wheel doesn't have it's own psi limit. For a higher rated valve stem we have the Americana Valve Stem part # AM20906 which is rated for over 100 psi and fits this wheel.

  • What Size Rim Diameter and Pilot Diameter is Required to Install on Hub # KHR13858E
    Since the # KHR13858E is a 13 inch rotor you would need to use 16 inch or larger trailer wheels with 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt patterns like the # AM20794 which has a pilot diameter of 4.9 inches. I went out to our warehouse to measure this hub and found that the pilot diameter of a wheel would need to be 4-3/4 inches to fit on this hub.

  • Recommended Silver Wheel w/ a 8 on 6-1/2 Lug Pattern
    If you are needing a 16" wheel then the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel item # AM20794 is the best option for a silver wheel with a 8 on 6-1/2 lug pattern. This wheel is powder coated for a lasting durable finish. It has a 3,960 lbs per wheel which is our highest rated option in silver. It fits both 1/2" and 9/16" lug studs. I have linked a picture below that will show you what these wheels look like when installed on tandem axle trailer. The only other size silver wheel we have...

  • What Rims do I Need to Replace Dexstar 17-293 Rims?
    From my available research, the Dexstar model 17-293 measures 16" x 6" and has a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. While we do not carry this exact model, we do have a replacement with the identical dimensions. If this is the size you need, I recommend the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - Silver Powder Coat # AM20794. This rim comes with a 3,960 pound capacity and fits standard stud sizes 1/2"-20 and/or 9/16"-18. To top it all off, they are made 100% in the U.S.A. We also carry the white...

  • Availability of Dexstar 16" 8 on 6-1/2 Wheel With 4,000 Pound Capacity
    The closest a Dexstar wheel of that size gets to 4,000 lb capacity would be the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver Powder Coat # AM20794. This wheel has a capacity of 3,960 lbs. We do, however, have other options. If you specifically wanted a black wheel, Lionshead has several like the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # LH39FR. This wheel has a capacity of 4,080 lbs.

  • 16 Inch Trailer Wheels Rated for at Least 3,960 Pounds at 110 PSI
    Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20794 has the same 3,960 pound capacity at 110 psi as Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10501. So if you are looking for an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern these two would be a great match. For a valve stem use # AM20906. You can also use white Mini Mod wheel # AM20789 or 8 spoke white wheel # TTW660865WS4.

  • Recommended Replacement For Dexstar # 17-293 With 16x6 8 Lug Rim

It has a zero offset with 3,960 pound capacity at 110 psi. It has an 8 lug on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern and is compatible with 1/2-20 or 9/16-18 wheel studs. Sorry to hear about your bent rim.

  • Option For 16 Inch Steel Trailer Wheel With 4.9 Inch Center Bore

First, for the wheels themselves, you can choose from the following Dexstar options, depending on your wheel bolt pattern: - 6 on 5-1/2: Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - Silver Powder Coat # AM20746 - 8 on 6-1/2: Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer...

  • Replacement Rim For A 8120 Featherlight Stock Trailer
    The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20794 will work for your 8120 featherlight stock trailer if your existing rims are 16 inch by 6 inch and have a bolt pattern of 8 on 6-1/2. I will attach a link below showing how to measure your bolt pattern. The diameter of the wheel will be stamped on the sidewall of the trailer. The last two numbers will be the diameter of the rim.

  • Can a Trailer Use Wheels that Have Different Weight Capacities
    As long as the wheels are all rated for the weight of your trailer you would have no problem using the # AM20794 and # AM20760. Them having different weight capacities isn't a problem in it of itself, but if the combined weight capacities of all the wheels wasn't enough for the weight of your trailer that would be where the problem is. Both the wheels would have enough capacity to be used on a 7k axle so you would be fine.

  • Recommended Lug Nuts to Use with Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Wheel AM20794
    The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Wheel # AM20794 is compatible with both 1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18 studs, so the right lug nuts partly depends on the stud size for your existing hubs. For 1/2", the Redline # 12CLN will work really well and if you have 9/16" studs I recommend the Redline # 6-53. I have also attached links below that will take you to our full selection of 1/2" and 9/16" lug nuts that you can look through.

  • Are There Center Caps Available for Dexstar Mini Mod Trailer Wheels
    I have a solution for you, but I did some searching and it doesn't look like we have any available center caps that are going to be compatible with the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20794. If you're looking for a little bit better looking wheel that won't break the bank, have a look at the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # LH39FR. These are also an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern 16" diameter wheel that gives you a good balance of price and good looks....

    It looks like your Dexstar 17-293 wheel is 16x6 and has an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. We have several wheels that will match this wheel, but I recommend going with the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - White Powder Coat # AM20789 . I've also linked our entire selection of 16x6 wheels from Dexstar in the event that you decide you wanted to switch all of your wheels to a chrome/silver like the # AM20794

  • Wheel Offset And Backspacing Of The Dexstar Mini-Mod 16" Wheels
    Backspacing and offset are terms used to look at the same thing in a different way. Backspacing is described as the distance from the center of the hub to the inside edge of the wheel at the bead seat whereas offset is the distance from the center of the wheel to its mounting face. On a wheel with a zero offset, the backspacing will be slightly larger than half of the width of the wheel because the wheel width is measured from bead seat to bead seat (see photo). It is not the overall width...

  • Recommended 16 x 6 Wheel for Wood Chipper
    Since you believe your wheel has a zero offset (mounting pad of wheel is equidistant along width of rim) I wouldn't recommend going with the # AM20797 wheel with the positive offset as it will move the wheel 1/2 inch closer to the trailer frame. Both the # MX59FR Maxion Vesper and Dexstar # AM20794 have a zero offset, both have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch pilot bolt pattern and the same pilot diameter. If I had to choose between the two, I'd go with the # MX59FR, because of its higher 4460 lb...
