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.
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.)
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.)
Measuring the distance (D) 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 was looking for idler hub assemblies for my 6' x 12' utility trailer. Apparently 5 studs on 5" circle is not that common. Most trailers are 5 on 4.5. The entire experience with etrailer was great. They helped me with the selection of the idler hub assemblies and assured me I was selecting the correct hub assembly based on the bearing numbers that came out. The ordering was slick, especially with PayPal, and the least expensive delivery method was fast. Ordered them on a Thursday and UPS delivered them Monday morning. Excellent quality and a fair price. Will definitely use trailer.com again.

Performing maintenance on a 23 year old trailer. The replacement hubs were an exact fit. Saved me the hassle of tracking down bearings, races and seals. Added benefit of new hubs, studs and lug nuts. These came pre packed with grease. Just added more grease and installed on the axle. If these last another 23 years, they will be perfect.

Thats an awesome trailer! Exactly what Id like to build to pull behind my JK. Im hoping these 5 on 5 hubs are the Jeep wheel pattern so I only need one spare?

As long as the hubs/wheels on your JK are 5 lugs on a 5-1/2 inch pattern, these hubs should be fine. The only other thing to consider is the pilot hole on the wheel clearing around the center of the hub.

I place a order for about 18 trailer hubs . When order came in all the hubs had been boxed wrong & I call they check there inventory those were box wrong . I was told it would take 6 weeks to refill order , so I was force to go to another brand hub that cost $XX.00 Ea. more .

I am sorry to hear that we ped the ball on this one and were not able to ship the replacements right away. We do want to take care of our customers as quickly as possible if an incorrect part is shipped. I appreciate that you were willing to order a different hub with us and I hope they are working well for you.
by: Mike 04/03/2024
As described perfect and arrived 2 days early
by: Patrick08/10/2021
Delivery was late and one of the hubs was not pregreased with the blue cover in place. This may have been a shipping damaged item as I order two and one was fine although the amount of grease in the second one was not nearly what it was in the first one.

I apologize for the quality of one of your hubs. Customer Service will be reaching out to you.
by: Joseph 08/12/2021
Very nice to have this in the box ready to go for our long pocket cruising sailboat trailer over ten hours. I just replaced the bearings and packed them myself, and have an infrared thermometer to check the bearings at fuel stops, but if we do get into an issue on the road, this is an easy swap to ensure we aren't stranded on the side of the road.

Perfect fit, great price and fast shipping. You cant go wrong with these guys.
My 12 year old utility trailer needed new bearings. It was just easier to buy new Complete hubs than hassle with removing seals and races and installing new ones. Plus Free shipping.

Great product, perfect fit and fast delivery. Great company!
by: Tregg06/18/2018
Item arrived exactly as described, assembled, greased and ready to be installed. I literally took it out of the box, removed the plastic protective caps, and slipped it over the axle stub. It fit perfectly and works great. Very pleased with product cost, fast shipping and ease of installation.

No issues what-so-ever. Working perfectly with no complaints.
by: Mark03/02/2020
As always, eTrailer was great to work with in this recent order, but the quality of, at least one part in this kit, is really lacking. The easy lube axle cap, the one where the rubber cap inserts, is such thin metal that it deforms almost beyond use when attempting to insert it into the hub. I would have thought that this was the new "par for the course," except that I also ordered just the bearing rebuild kit, part no. DBRKHW35EZ, for my second axle on this trailer, the one with the brakes, and the replacement easy lube cap that came with this kit was almost twice the metal thickness and worked wonderfully without deformation. Given that this hub replacement is noted as the "Premium" replacement hub kit, I believe the cap should have been of usable thicker metal.
by: Edgar03/03/2019
Installed easily, glad it's pre-greased. Great deal! Shipping from etrailer was fast. Other websites didn't provide enough info to know if I was ordering the right part. etrailer did a good job of describing what was being purchased so they won my business.

by: Jeff L.03/02/2014
I needed to replace a hub with a 5x5 pattern. The only choice in this pattern was the star shaped hub. This seems to be a sturdy hub but I wish it was a full hub, seems heavy built though, time will tell if it holds up. I like that it comes complete with bearings, dust cap, seal and lug nuts.
by: Bill H.08/27/2016
This was a complete kit, all the pieces were included and there were no surprises. This was part of an axle replacement, the entire job of bolting on the axle and the hubs took less than 2 hours. I chose this hub so that I can use the truck spare tire for the trailer, too.
by: Weston 07/14/2022
Had a wheel bearing go out which took out the spindle and hub. This hub was the perfect replacement. Made the repair quick and easy.

They're very helpful, fast, professional the way all companies should strive for.
by: Jeffrey08/19/2022
Shipping was much faster than expected. Customer service was excellent and a representative reached out to modify my order for faster delivery due to an item being back ordered. A replacement item was selected and everything arrived soon after order confirmation. All items arrived well packaged and exactly as I ordered it. I would definitely order from etrailer again.

Quality hubs quality bearings Haley help me find what I needed very helpful knows what she’s doing you can find cheaper ones but read the reviews not so good thanks again E trailer and Haley
by: James02/23/2019
Went on smooth, no issues so far, the cover was a little tough getting on, so I'm sure it'll be fun taking back off to grease. Still, I'd rather have a tight seal. Quality of the bearings, and hub seem to be above par.
by: William07/25/2017
I thank you for taking time selecting the correct hub and barring assembly for my trailer. The hub arrived on time for me to make repairs and to go fishing the next day.
by: Fred Z.10/15/2017
Presently surprised that the hubs came pre-greased. Didn't say so when I ordered it. Worked out perfectly!
by: Ezequiel P08/13/2016
The hub assembly worked great, I have been using it for a year now without any issues.
Thank you for helping me with this great product.

Great storeI forgot to order bearing so I was pleased when I opened the box and the bearings and seal was with the hub.

Hub was exactly as described and was shipped in a very timely matter.
by: Lloyd07/27/2016
Exactly what I needed and at the lowest price I could find, then it arrived 2 day before I expected it. Great price and exceptional service, I won't even look any other place for my trailer needs.

- Could Hub with 1993 Jeep Wheel Bolt Pattern be Used on Military TrailerA 1993 Jeep Wrangler wheel bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2 inches which is a standard trailer wheel bolt pattern so we are off to a good start. That said now we have to determine if there's a hub that's going to fit your trailer axle that has the correct bolt pattern like you need. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub or use a dial or digital caliper to get exact measurements of the spindle. The measurements needed are the parts of the spindle...

- Can 17" Jeep Wheels W/ 5 on 5" Bolt Pattern Be Used On Off-Road Trailer?I have another option for you, but at this time we do not offer a hub with the 5 on 5" bolt pattern that is rated for 17" wheels. For example the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 5 - Pre-Greased # 84550BX you were looking at are only rated for up to 15" wheels. The reason for this is the size of the hub will not give enough support for a 17" wheels and could cause a catastrophic failure like a wheel braking off if you hit something hard like a curb, or a bike rock while...
view full answer... - How to Know if a Trailer Hub with a 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern Would Fit a Trailer SpindleIf you take off your current hubs and find an inner bearing of L68149 and an outer bearing of L44649 then yes, you could replace the hub with a # 84550BX and you would have a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern like you are looking for. Or, you can use a dial caliper to measure the dimensions of the spindle on your trailer. If where the inner bearing rides measures 1.38 inches and where the outer bearing rides measures 1.06 inches then this hub would fit.

- Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axle Compatibility with 16 Inch Jeep WheelThe Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 5 - Pre-Greased # 84550BX is only rated for up to 15 inch trailer wheels. The bolt pattern will match your Jeep tires, but Dexter doesn't recommend using non-trailer tires on their hubs. People do it, but vehicle tires are different than trailer tires and there are different back spacing using vehicle tires. Trailer wheels usually use a zero offset so they are directly centered on the hub face. If you are just looking for...
view full answer... - How to Correctly Determine Wheel Bolt PatternIf you are attempting to determine your bolt pattern and got 2-7/8 inches for your "D" measurement (like in the accompanying diagram) it does not mean it would be 5 on 5" because it could just as easily be a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. What I recommend doing is measuring from the center of one bolt hole to the outside edge of the bolt hole farthest away from it on your wheel. This is the easiest method to determine the correct wheel bolt pattern. I have also added a link to a help article...

After a year, the hubs are working well. Dont really have a lot of miles on them, but, they seem to be performing as well as the factory originals.
