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.
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.)
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.)
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.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this Americana 16 inch by six inch wide AM03 Series Gunmetal Gray Machined Aluminum Trailer Wheel with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this is an aluminum wheel. It's very durable, lightweight, and rustproof. As we mentioned, it's an a M03 series wheel, which as you can see, the eight open spoke design in the gunmetal gray finish.
And what's nice, if you notice, if I tilt this a little bit, you might see the reflection. Around those openings of those spokes, they do have a machine silver face on them. Provides a nice, bold sweep look. The gunmetal gray finish is a glossy finish. Now they do use a clear coating on the front and even on the back wheel to help protect the finish.
A few measurements on this wheel I wanna give you is the diameter, which we said is 16 inches. And the diameter is always measured inside to inside. So if we get our tape measure, then you can see if I go all the way across, inside the inside, there's your 16 inch diameter. The width of the wheel is always also measured inside to inside, or bead seat to bead seat. And on this, you'll see is six inches wide.
Now the bolt pattern on this wheel, we mentioned, is an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that bolt pattern on a wheel that's an even number of lugs, like in this case, eight, it's pretty easy, because if you notice the lug holes are directly opposite of each other. So what you want to do is when you go to measure a bolt pattern and pick any hole, let's say this one, measure from the center of this hole directly down to the center of the hole right across from it. So if we go center to center, it's gonna measure six and a half inches. So this is an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern.
The wheel lug size that's used on this wheel is a half inch by 20, or a nine 16ths by 18. This does have a weight capacity of 4,400 pounds. Now one of the nice features on this wheel that I like is they use in the lug nut wells here, the steel inserts are pressed in there. And the reason they do that is it helps keep the wheel securely in place on your trailer hub. So when you put your lug nuts on the stud and tighten it down, it prevents the holes from wearing down or elongating. And it's nice 'cause it eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts. Now the wheel does not come with a center cap. If you do want one, we do sell those separately on a website. Now when you do get a center cap for this, you do need to get it by the diameter of this pilot hole, 'cause your center cap will go in through this hole from the rear. So the diameter of this pilot hole is 4.9 inches. So when you get a center cap, you wanna make sure it has that same diameter. Now this wheel does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and the SAE J2530 standards. But that's gonna do it for the review on the Americana 16 inch by six inch AM03 Series Gummetal Gray Machine Aluminum Trailer Wheel.
