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"

Excellent Hub Assembly that comes ready to slide onto the spindle. Purchased these hubs for a Trailer here in Canada. Even with the crazy exchange rate and shipping. It was still a better deal.
by: Landwehr05/20/2021
I patiently waited through about 3 1/2 months of supply delays, and the hubs have arrived. Pre-lubed, with shipping covers, was a nice touch. Most difficult was removing and re-installing the axle cotter pin. Otherwise, maybe 7 minutes install time per hub. Not punching out the bearing as it slides onto the stub is only other point of concern. Dust caps are a bit hard to get set. If I can, I'll include photos of previous axles, new install, and finished.

These have made a world of difference compared to the old ones. Even looks better. All 4 wheels the same, lug nuts all same, not fighting rust. Should have bought a fifth wheel for the spare, but whatever. Glad I got them. I will remember them ifwhen I get to my next trailer build. Now, what about converting trailer house axles to highway hubs, hmm.

5/20/2022
In order to determine if the trailer house axle can be converted you would to know if there are compatible hubs and associated bearings to replace your current hubs to a more standard size. It is best to use a set of dial calipers to measure. You will need to measure the seal, inner bearing, and outer bearing. It is also possible that there may be bearing numbers stamped on these parts as well, and those would be helpful in obtaining the correct replacement compatible hub. Mobile home axles are commonly used for home made trailers since they are readily available. Since mobile home axles are not intended for continued use, replacement parts and compatible conversion parts are not usually readily available.

Excellent service, my parts arrived as premised.

Not so good. I had to replace them already with sealed bearings and new calipers and rotors. They couldn’t hold up to the salt water environment

@Allen Bearing protectors like the # BB1980A-SS Bearing Buddies would do a great job of excluding water from the bearings of your trailer, they're very easy to use and the integrated grease zerk makes keeping your bearings lubricated very easy.

I bought a 5'x10' utility trailer that had some jeep wheels mounted with some wheel spacers with the 5x4.5 bolt pattern. I had some 6 lug wheels that matched my truck and wanted to switch the trailer over to 6x5.5 pattern and eliminate the wheel spacers. I followed the how to in the faq section on how to measure my axle spindle for correct hub/hub bearing replacement. These hubs were exactly what I needed and mounted just fine. It was awesome that the races, bearings, seals, and grease were pre-installed. Took about 20 minutes per side from old wheels and tires on the ground to new wheels and tires on the ground ready to roll. Very nice all in one product. The quality of the parts looks and feels great. Well worth the money. I would recommend these and etrailer.com to anyone needing parts to maintain your trailer. Thanks!
by: Tyler 08/17/2023
Easy money to install. I use stock 4runner wheels and tires on my trailer now.
by: Samuel11/24/2020
I’ve been looking for this hub for a few months now, and when I saw it online, I spent like two hours checking and rechecking it was the one I needed. The good thing is that the description on etrailer.com is detailed. Frankly now that I think about it, I spent more time making sure it was the correct hub, than what I did putting them on. They were pre greased and fit perfectly. The shipping was quick too, I received them three days after I placed my order. Thank you, etrailer.com for having what I needed.

by: Mark09/29/2022
First time I ordered hub and spindle so they would match up sent the wrong hub for the spindle so reorder hub was back ordered for months I gave and got a refund but the whole axle I was working on I scraped and just a used axle so the new spindle was worthless.
by: Lee01/09/2018
These hubs installed perfectly on my utility trailer, and now it runs 17" 6-lug wheels that match my 4x4 (after fabricating a centering hub for the hub-centric wheels). With the addition of Bearing Buddies (also from etrailer) it's a great setup. Very happy with the product quality and delivery, etrailer is tops!
by: Scott05/17/2020
Fit as expected, was a bit challenging as the trailer that came with the had the hubs rusted to the wheel, nothings would separate them, heat, cold nothing worked. Took the whole thing of and ordered the hub by micrometer measurements of the spindle. Fortunately etrailer provides these measurements.
I knew this rig was a labor of love from the start
by: Graham06/16/2020
Good product. But the shipping was delayed at no fault of etrailer. But it took a long time to even get a tracking number. Didn't get a tracking number untill I contacted etrailer about it
by: Douglas 05/29/2020
I ordered two wheel hubs with bearing last year for my trailer. Parts were easy to locate on your web sight, ordering was easy and shipment was very rapid. The parts are quality parts and have performed well for the past year. Very pleased with my purchase.
by: Steven H07/11/2019
I wanted to have the same bolt pattern on my trailer as my truck. When I needed a new rim for my trailer I bought 2 and made the switch. This will help save space and weight not needing an another spare tire. Web site had all the info you need, making it very easy to know what you are getting. shipment was on time. just add grease at install and you are ready to go.

etrailer as been a great help finding the right Hub to fit the wheel and tire I have. I didn't have any trouble with returning my 1st set of hubs. I haven't had a chance to see their products at work with my AG. sprayer trailer. Thank you for your help.
by: Edward 09/11/2020
Nicely made. Good quality. They look like they’ll last for the life of the trailer as long as I maintain the maintenance

- Will Chevrolet 6-on-5-1/2- Bolt Pattern Wheels Fit Trailer Idler Hub Assembly AKIHUB-655-35-KThe Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-35-K that you referenced has a hub bore (where its grease cap fits) of 1.988-inches. Your Chevrolet wheels with their 3.07-inch pilot hole will fit on these hubs. You will want to be sure to use only special trailer (ST-type) tires on the wheels when you fabricate your trailer. Passenger car tires are not suitable for use on trailers. ST tires are made with stiffer side walls to handle the vertical loads found on a trailer. A number of helpful...

With that info I can pick you out the correct parts but without that I don't have a way to look up what you need with just the trailer model number. Otherwise in order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached...

view full answer... - Could Trailer with 5 Lug Wheels be Adapted to Fit with 6 Lug WheelsYou would have to change the hubs of the trailer to ones that have the correct bolt pattern for the new wheels. But based on the size of the trailer and the likely axle capacity it is not super likely there is a 6 lug bolt pattern hub that fits it. The axle would need to be a 3,500 lb axle that would have a 2-3/8 inch diameter so that a hub like the part # AKIHUB-655-35-K would fit and would also work with your wheel.
view full answer... - Availability Of 5 On 4-1/4 Hubs And How To Measure A 5 Or 6 Lug PatternI am not aware of any 5 or 6 lug hubs that have a 4-1/4" bolt spacing. We would definitely want to verify that you are measuring your bolt pattern correctly. The best way to measure a 5 lug pattern is to measure from the center of one hole, to the outside edge of the hole across from it. This will give you the true bolt pattern measurement. So if you measure 4-1/2" from the center to the outside edge, it is a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. For a 6 lug wheel you can measure from the center...

You can confirm whether you have a 3500 lb axle by pulling one of the hubs, removing the inner and outer wheel bearing and examining the sides of the cages that hold the roller bearings. There will be a reference number engraved on the side of the bearing cages. If the numbers read L68149 on the larger inner bearing and L44649 on the smaller outer bearing,...
view full answer... - How to Convert 3,500 lb Dexter Axle from Wheel Bolts to Wheel StudsI have a solution for you, but you would not be able to thread in wheel studs to your hub that uses lug bolts. Instead you would need to replace the hub with one that has studs mounted in them. For that we have the part # AKIHUB-655-35-K for an idler hub or part # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K for a hub drum. Both of these will fit your Dexter 3,500 lb axle and have the correct 6 lug bolt pattern.

If you just want an idler hub then I recommend etrailer hub # AKIHUB-655-35-K. this hub comes with the races, bearings, seal, dust cap, and lug nuts.

view full answer... - Converting A Trailer With A 5 On 4.5" Hub To A 6 On 5.5" Hub Hey Steve, To replace your hub we'll need to first determine the bearings and seals that fit your spindle. You can look at the face of the bearings and grease seal to see if there's a part number stamped into them still otherwise you'll need to use a digital caliper # PTW80157 and measure points B, C, and D from the guide below. 18" wheels are pretty large for this axle capacity so you might have some clearance issues with the fenders or body of the trailer using this size.

If this is correct there's a still a number of options that could be your correct hubs depending on whether you have drums, what bolt pattern they are, and whether you have EZ Lube spindles or not.

- Will AxleTek Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-35-K Fit 2007 5x8 Enclosed TrailerYes, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-35-K should fit the 2-3/8" diameter axle that you currently have installed on your 2007 5x8 enclosed trailer. If you can verify that the axle on your trailer is a 3,500 lb axle then that would confirm the fit indefinitely as this hub uses the same bearings and seal as the common #84 spindle on a 3,500 lb axle.

- Recommended Idler Hub With 6 On 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern For Timbren Axe-Less SuspensionIf you have the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension, part # ASR2KHDS02 for your trailer, we have just what you are looking for. I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, part # AKIHUB-655-35-K. This is an idler hub with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. This hub includes bearing and race, outer bearing and race, grease seal, grease cap, and lug nuts. This hub will work with wheels from 14 inch to 17-1/2 inch diameter.

For brakes you can use the # AKEBRK-35-SA. If you only want idler hubs you would use the # AKIHUB-655-35-K or # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K instead.

If you want a bearing kit the # BK2-100 you looked at is the right one. This comes with a # L44649 outer and # L68149 inner bearing along with a # 58846 (10-19) grease seal. If you want a replacement idler hub you can use the # AKIHUB-655-35-K or for a hub and drum assembly the # AKHD-655-35-K. Both of these have a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Wide Trailer Tire Recommendation for Building Trailer that will be Used on SandThe widest tire size we have is the 235/80-16 which has a section width of 9-1/4 inches. For a wheel and tire in that size with a trailer wheel that has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern you'd want the part # AM34834. So then to reverse engineer from there you'd want a 6 lug hub like the part # AKIHUB-655-35-K and then you'd want the 84 spindle like the TruRyde part # TRU24FR.

- Availability Of 6 on 5-1/2 Idler Hub With LM67048 And L68149 BearingsThere is one hub that we carry that uses the LM67048 outer and L68149 Inner bearing. This is a hub and drum assembly # 8-407-5UC3-EZ. The only problem is the seal that comes with this is a 10-19 seal which has an inner diameter of 1.719". So this would not effectively seal your spindle. We would also have to put electric brakes on the axle in order to use that hub. This bearing combination is very uncommon these days. It may prove very difficult to find compatible hubs. At this point...
