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"

Nice looking wheels at a great price!! These really dressed up my old boat trailer, couldn’t be happier!! The service was awesome and shipping was fast. I’ll be doing more business with etrailer.



by:

Exactly as described! Quick shipping! Excellent quality! I already have tires mounted and the tires and rims mounted on the trailer! The trailer has 8” rims I needed bigger ones for highway travel! These fit the bill!

Still working great after a year! No issues at all!



by:

These 13" steel wheels were the perfect solution to upgrade my original , white, 12" trailer wheels from 1979. The 4 on 4 bolt pattern in 13" is just what I was looking for and only etrailer could provide it.

This has worked well on my vintage fiberglass trailer

Great, it works as it should



by:

Great rims and blown away with the no-messing-around shipping. You also were great about updates. I bought these for a small skiff trailer and they really dressed it up. See pics



by:

The 4 step upgrade culminated in this. Started with 5.30 x 8, went to 4.80 x 12...flipped the axle and lastly the went to 175/80 R13 with the 13 wheels purchased.



by:

Great wheels are nice, paint finish on wheel still looks good after 1 year



by:

About a year ago I ordered three Dexstar mini mod wheels,two new hub and bearing kits,U bolts,spring shackles, greaseable shackle bolts and spring eye bushings. I havent put many miles on the trailer with these new parts but so far they have performed as expected, the trailer pulls much easier and smoother. And working with etrailer was very easy.



by:

Great price customer service was over the top and product came in two days. This is a company I will look at first to see if they have what I need before buying anywhere else.



by:

This size & style of wheel was not widely available for my very specific need.
Etrailer.com stocked it... price was reasonable... and it arrived promptly.
I'm very satisfied.



by:

Showed up earlier than expected, discount tire mounted and balanced for free. Wheel looks great, hopefully I don’t need the spare anytime soon. Thank you for the quick order delivery

Still good, etrailer has been very helpful over the years. Thanks



by:

These wheels look great and really dressed up my vintage pop up. Swapped out the original 5.70 X 8 tires and flipped the axle, this can go anywhere now.



by:

Fast shipping excellent customer service and the wheels fit and look great on my small boat trailer



by:

Was ok was orderd for my husband he seems to be very happy with the product



by:

One of the rims has some Sort of rough epoxy or weld splatter in the sealing are for the tire.



by:

I think I'm happy with the wheels. eTrailer is always my first stop for any trailer accessories



by:

2 of 3 the wheels I received had been attempted to be installed before, had scratches on the inside from the tire machine and valve stems indicating someone tried using the wheels before. And one of them had a bent lip.
They're trailer wheels, bent the lip back into place and no scratches on the outside, so I ran them anyways and they work just fine
Just would be nice to get something new when payed for.

Did have an issue on my initial order and called and Jessica was an awesome help! Good customer service! Shipping was fast.

Will give the company another try.



by:

fantastic transaction



by:

Excellent quality, fast shipping, very happy.



by:

The rim I order was on time[ a three day turn around ] and a excellent product. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong rim. I called to see if the one I wanted was available, and was surprised that they had a return policy that gave me a email to down load a UPS return. A quality company !



by:

I am so impressed to have found a 13” four lug rim at ETrader when not many places had this item. And I received it in only 3 days. The price and delivery charge were very reasonable.



by:

Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect condition and quick delivery.
Thanks Phillip!



by:

As always AWESOME job will be sending photos when done. Thanks to everyone at etrailer



by:

DECENT PRODUCT, FAST DELIVERY. VERY SA TIFIED

The rims were shipped fast and look GRE AT!!

  • Can Trailer Wheel with 1/2"-20 Wheel Bolt Holes Mount to Hub with M12 Studs
    Yes, it is perfectly okay to use a trailer wheel like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod # AM20242 you were looking at that features 1/2"-20 wheel bolt holes on a hub with M12 studs. The M12 studs are just slightly smaller in diameter but as long as you use lug nuts that have a 60 degree bevel (like part # CE11051) to match the wheel bevel this isn't an issue.

  • Replacement Brake Magnet and Tire/Wheel Combo for a 1964 Shasta Compact Camper
    I am guessing that your axle weight rating is either 2,000 lbs or 3,500 lbs. You should be able to verify this by looking at the tag/sticker near the trailer tongue or by finding the weight rating stamped in the middle of the axle. We do have replacement brake magnets for each. Simply check to see if you have 7" brake assemblies or 10" assemblies and then use part # AKBRKR-M7 or # AKBRKR-M10 respectively. Since the wheel in your picture has a 4 on 4" bolt pattern I am guessing that you...

  • Can a Radial Tire Fit on Dexstar Mini Mod Wheel AM20242
    Yes, you can install radial tires on the Dexstar rim part # AM20242 that you referenced. For a radial tire that would fit this rim and work well we have the part # LHWL101. This size is ST175/80R13. Or for a similar wheel that comes with a radial tire installed already we have the part # LHAX097 that would work great. The tire has a higher speed rating than usual at 75 mph and has a 2 year roadside program too. The tire I mentioned before has the same ratings and roadside program.

  • Recommended 13 Inch Trailer Wheel With 4 On 4 Bolt Pattern
    We have 13 inch wheels that have the 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern that have a 4.5 inch width. I recommend the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 4 on 4 - Black, # AM20242. This bolt pattern and size does not have a hub cap that will fit but they look really nice with chrome lugs like # 12CLN. I have linked the page of all our 13 inch 4 on 4 bolt pattern wheel options for you. There isn't a 4 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern standard trailer wheel. If you do have this bolt...

  • Availability of 13 Inch 4 on 4 Wheel With 2.5" Pilot Hole For Karrier ST175/80R13 Tires
    The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10210 fits a 13" wheel with 4-1/2", 5", and 5-1/2" widths. Although there is no wheel and tire combination that comes with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, we do have wheels available for these tires. The closest we have to a 2.5" center hole is a 2.65" center hole with the Dexstar Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20242 or # AM20222DX. More than likely your setup is lug centric, which means that the pilot hole won't matter or effect the mounting...

  • Replacement Wheel for ST175/80D13 Tire
    The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20245 you looked at will work with your ST175/80D13 tire if you want a black wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If you would rather have a basic white wheel then the # AM20232 would also work. If you need a 4 on 4 bolt pattern you can use the # AM20222DX for white or # AM20242 for black.

  • Should I Stay With 13" Wheels Or Upgrade To 14 Wheels?
    I will start by sating that the wheels/tires on the trailer you are looking at do look kind of undersized. So you definitely can stay with a 13" set up like the Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10208 and Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 4 on 4 # AM20242, which will give you 1,660 pounds of capacity (the wheel is rated lower than the tire in this case). However, you need to have at least 3" of space from the top of the tire to the...

  • Will the Destar Mini Mod Trailer Wheels # AM20242 Fit a Car with 4 Lugs?
    The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 4 on 4 - Black # AM20242 is not compatible with your 1991 Honda Civic. These wheels are made specifically for trailers and do not have the offset you will need to be compatible with the stance of your vehicle for proper turning and stability. We only carry trailer wheels and they are not interchangeable with vehicles.

  • How To Find Replacement Wheels for Trailer with 175/70-13 Tires
    It sounds like you might be looking for replacement wheels for an old trailer. If that's the case then the first bit of info needed is the tire size. The last number in the tire size provides the wheel diameter. Then, you'll need to know the bolt pattern which can be found by measuring (see help article below). If you have 175/70-13 tires with an even number of holes measuring 4" across then I recommend the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel part # AM20242. I have attached a full list...

  • How is Weight Distributed Between Wheels
    The weight will be distributed between all of the wheels you have. So for a wheel like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20242 you can assume 3,320 lbs for two wheels and 6,640 lbs for four wheels. Keep in mind, these are designed for trailer use and have an offset of 0.

  • Recommendations for Spare Wheel on 1965 Lil Loafer Trailer
    I've attached an article to help you determine the bolt pattern of your wheel to see if it is a 4 on 4 inch or not. If it is, I recommend the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 4 on 4 - Black # AM20242 for your spare tire. If it is not, then I recommend considering changing your hubs so you can use standard trailer sizes as we have nothing that will fit a 4 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Let me know if you are interested in upgrading your trailer hubs and I will be...

  • Offset and Back Spacing for Dexstar Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" - 4 on 4 - Black AM20242
    Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 4 on 4 - Black Item # AM20242 has a zero offset meaning the mounting surface is in the dead center of the wheel. The overall width of the wheel is approximately 5-1/2 inches making the back spacing approximately 2-3/4 inches. This wheel is not compatible with baby moon hub caps. They only fit what are called conventional steel wheels and there are none available in the 13 x 4-1/2 size with 4 on 4 bolt pattern.

  • Fit and Compatibility of Tire Size and Bore Size on Trailer with 4 on 4 Wheel Pattern
    It sounds like you meant to say you have 185/70R13 sized tires on your trailer. If this is correct then the 4 on 4 bolt pattern wheel # AM20242 will work with your 185/70R13 sized tire as long as your previous wheel was lug centric. Since you mentioned your bore size, I just want to be sure that you know there are two main types of wheels, hub-centric wheels and lug-centric wheels. Hub-centric wheels center on the hub using the hub bore and lug-centric wheels center on the hub using lug...

    The 4 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you mentioned is not typically found on trailer wheels so it might be difficult to find. We do not currently have any 13 inch wheels available with this bolt pattern. I have attached a great article that explains how to measure the bolt pattern on your wheels. I recommend first verifying the bolt pattern on your trailer wheels. If you find that you actually have the much more common 4 on 4 inch pattern, the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20242...

  • Availability of Replacement Wheel for Trailer with 13 inch Diameter and 4 on 4 inch Bolt Pattern
    100 mm in inches is 3.9 inches which means your bolt pattern is pretty close to 4 on 4 inch but since it's German it very well could be a totally different bolt pattern than what we carry. If it is 4 on 3.9 inch we aren't going to have a replacement. If it is 4 on 4 inch then I'd recommend the part # AM20242 which is a 13 inch diameter wheel with that bolt pattern.

  • Largest 4 on 4 Wheels and Tires to Fit a 1972 Hunter Compact Trailer
    The largest diameter wheel we carry with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern is a 13 inch wheel. The largest tire for a 13 inch wheel is an ST185/80-13 tire, part # AM1ST79, which you can then put on a 13 by 4-1/2 inch wheel, part # AM20242. It has an outer diameter of 24.4 inches and is 7.2 inches wide. The only catch here is this is a bias tire, which might be great if you'll be towing on rough roads a lot of the time. If you're primarily going to be on highways I recommend going with a radial tire...
