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.
- 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"

White power coated, 16" steel wheel features a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and meets Department of Transportation standards.by: Mark NC03/17/2024
I recently discovered etrailer while searching for a specific steel spoke trailer wheel. Not only did they have the item I was looking for, but their selection was vast, and the prices were competitive. The website was easy to navigate, and the product descriptions were informative and accurate. I was pleasantly surprised by the fast shipping and the care they took in packaging my order. I’m thrilled with my purchase and will continue to shop at etrailer for all my needs.

I put these on an old 2 wheel trailer to hold my portable welder. They’re doing the job well. Make the whole thing look better too!
by: Tonie09/13/2022
Great quality wheels and great service, only I wish I had purchased the valves to go along with the wheels.

Bailey was very nice and helpful on the phone. Will definitely do business with her again

etrailer went above and beyond to help me get a wheel i needed in a very short period of time. etrailer associates kept me in the loop the whole shipping process to ensure i received it when needed. highly recommend them for your wheel purchases. It’s hard to find companies going above and beyond to help customers and etrailer certainly went above and beyond to help me in a desperate time of need. Thank you guys very much!

Product works great. Etrailer is truly one of a kind!
by: Raymond 12/07/2021
These rims are perfect for my project... not a trailer, but a 1978 Toyota LandCruiser FJ40. They have the perfect 70s spoke look that is period correct for the ride. I didn't have any trouble getting tires (E-Rated) mounted or balanced at the big tire chain. I've put nearly 3000 miles on them already with no issues. I chose these because they had the correct backspacing and bolt pattern for the application, no interference in the front on full wheel lock, left or right. The USA made quality is certainly there; the powder-coating was just as uniform through the center of the wheel (not seen when the tire is mounted)as it is on the outside surfaces, unlike some foreign made stuff I saw at local trailer stores. Highly recommend, even though most of you reading this need it for a trailer. I tried uploading a picture, but it just says "was unsucccessful to upload".

Product was just what I needed. It was shipped very quickly esp during holiday season. I was informed all the way thru delivery. Very good service.

Working good
by: John L06/06/2017
After careful consideration I purchased 5 16x6 Dexstar wheels for my enclosed car trailer. While installing the tires you could clearly SEE on the spin balancer that 2 of the rims "not tires" were out of round and required additional weight 3.75/2.25 to bring them into balance which is more than normal. I am uncertain of the factory tolerance however I would not recommend these wheels to a friend. If I had more time I would return. This was the reason I wanted to by wheels made in the USA and not ones made across the pond.
by: Steve K02/13/2015
As advertised, great price, quick free delivery for the 4 wheels. Converted my Arctic Fox Silver Edition from 15 inch to 16 inch LT225/75R16 E rated tires. Note, ST tires are not rated for more then 65 MPH. Most of us tow at that speed all day long and occasionally faster, risky with ST rated tires.
by: Francis G.01/16/2015
These wheels are an outstanding bargain and were shipped and received at my home in unbelievable time frame. This order is proof that this company is certainly # 1 in customer satisfaction! Great company with can do attitude employees!

These 16" wheels were as described. A good value that solved my problem.
I wish that I had purchased them earlier.
by: Jeff C.07/02/2012
Perfect upgrade to the 15" tires on my 5th wheel. Now I have a large selection for tires. I ordered valves stems too, but the wrong size (hole size). Probably my fault, but it would have been nice to be warned about the size difference. No big deal - valve stems are located all over, but the deal on these wheels are not. Thanks!
by: Rob L05/01/2015
A quality trailer rim. My trailer came with 15 inch wheels an so i was limited to a low rating for weight capacity. These rims were cheap yet true and a good weight rating.
by: Terry 05/15/2023
Exact match for the rim I was replacing
by: Ivan A05/22/2020
both tire and wheel holding up well . good quality and good price. Thank you.

Can't say enough good about this company. Their followup communication is tops. Shipping was extemely fast, even though I used the cheapest method (they upgraded me for free). I have, and will continue to buy from etrailer.com!

Good quality rim. It was used (couldn’t wait for delayed delivery of a new one) and has a couple of nicks on the backside, but other than that its good.

Don't have a picture but the product that I bought was just as expected and worked great. I would suggest shopping with Etrailer to everyone.

See what our Experts say about this Dexstar Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Recommended Rim for a 245/75 R16 Light Truck TireWe have wheels that work for you but the Dexstar # AM20741 isn't wide enough for your tires. A 245/75 R16 size tire needs at least a 6-1/2 inch wide rim. We carry a few 16 inch wheels that are that wide, such as # AM22657. You may be better off going with a 235/80 R16, like # TA39VR, which is basically the same diameter as the 245/75 R16 size. You will also have the benefit of a trailer tire with a thicker sidewall instead of the LT truck tires. Some LT tires are rated for trailer...
view full answer... - Maximum Load Capacity and Air Pressure on Dexstar Trailer Wheel, 16 x 6, 6 on 5-1/2, # AM20741The load capacity and air pressure rating for the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 16 x 6 Inch Rim - 6 on 5-1/2, part # AM20741, and the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel - 16 x 6 Inch Rim - 6 on 5-1/2, part # AM20758, is 3,050 lbs at 90 psi. If this is for a trailer, the 265/75-16 tire size is usually not available in a trailer tire. The special trailer (ST) tires are designed with stronger sidewalls and can handle higher air pressures which are needed when being used on a trailer...
view full answer... - Changing to Higher Load Range G ST235/80R16 Tires on 5th Wheel TrailerA higher Load Range E tire is going to have a larger load capacity, which will technically allow the tire to run a bit cooler under load during travel. A radial tire will also do a better job of running cooler than a bias ply alternative. Since excessive heat is the primary cause of trailer tire failure going up a bit in capacity isn't a bad idea at all. Based on my research it looks like your 2014 Crossroads Cruiser uses ST235/80R16 size tires. If this is correct I recommend the Provider...

view full answer... - Is There a Benefit to Going to a Larger Tire SizeYes and no. Yes because if you plan on loading your trailer up to the max GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) then larger tires will last longer simply because they won't be under as much stress. With that being said, as long as you aren't exceeding the weight rating of smaller tires and you are able to remain under the speed rating then the benefit will be minimal. Another thing to note about upgrading the tire size is that you might not have the real estate to properly do so. We recommend...
view full answer... - Do you Carry 16 inch Wheels with a 5 Bolt Lug Pattern for a Cargo Trailer with 3,500 lbs AxlesAt this time we do not carry 16 inch wheels with a 5 bolt pattern or a lower profile tire. You would be best suited to stay with a 15 inch wheel and the highest rated tire available bias ply tire for 15 inch wheels, like the Karrier ST225/75D15 Bias Ply Trailer Tire - Load Range D, item # AM1ST96. This will give you a set of tires that are rated higher than the trailer axles so you will not have to worry about overloading the tires, unless the trailer itself is overloaded. Bias ply tires...

- Availability of Load Range E Tires for a 15 Inch Galvanized Boat Trailer Wheel with ST225/75R15 DAt this time we do not carry a load range E 15 inch trailer tire to replace the tires on your trailer. The ST225/75R15 trailer tires we carry, item # AM10256, have a capacity of 2,540 lbs at 65 psi, and should be sufficient for the axle and components on your trailer. Going to a higher capacity tire could possibly make other components on the the weakest link and subject to fail. One tip we can offer, if you are experiencing premature tire wear or blow outs, is to check the weight of...
view full answer... - Recommended Lionshead 16" Wheel w/ a 6 on 5-1/2 Lug Pattern Sorry Steve but you were misinformed. The closest rim we have to the Phoenix in a 6 on 5-1/2 lug pattern is the Liger Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim item # LH97FR.
view full answer... - Brakes, Hubs, Tires and Wheels for 6,000 lb AxleI have a complete setup for your trailer that will work great with your 6,000 lb axles. I recommend using the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly, both left # AKEBRK-7L-SA and right # AKEBRK-7R-SA hand sides of your trailer. These brakes have the self-adjusting feature on them so you don't have to manually adjust your trailer brakes every 3,000 miles. Since you are building a trailer, you are going to need some wiring as well. I am not sure what kind of trailer you are building, but you...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Tires/Wheels be Upgraded from 15 to 16 for 2017 Forest River Toy HaulerYou definitely can increase the size of the tires on your 2017 Forest River Toy Hauler provided you have enough clearance. We recommend having at least 4" of clearance between the tire and fender (to account for flex in suspension) and then at least 2" between the tire and the trailer frame. I really like the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire, Item # TTWTRTM2358016E because it has a load range of E (3,520 lbs at 80 psi) and a great max speed rating of 81 mph. All you need to do...

Most of these wheels are rated for 3050-lbs at 90-psi pressure. Part # AM22657 from Americana is rated for 3200-lbs at 80-psi; parts # AM22658HWTB and # AM22658HWT are rated for 3580-lbs at 80-psi, which is the highest rating we offer. The valve stem used can also affect overall pressure. If your trailer itself is rated for 36000-lbs...

The # AM20741 is rated up to 3,050 pounds. This Dexstar rim needs a valve stem. Use part # AM20907.

This tire would also require a larger wheel like the # AM20741 you were looking at and a hub with the bolt pattern to match. The outer diameter is 31.6" so it will be roughly an inch taller when compared to your current tires which are typically 29.4" in diameter. It also has a section width of 9.37" so you will want to compare that to your...
view full answer... - Timbren Axleless System Recommendation For Off-Road TrailerI believe your best option would be the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR35HDS02. This has a 3,500 lb capacity, has a 4 inch lift which will help you while off-roading, and is designed for wider tires. Whether or not your tire will clear will depend largely on the offset of the wheels you are using. With a hub installed on the spindle there will be a clearance of 8 inches from the hub face to the frame of the trailer with this kit installed. You will have to determine...
view full answer... - Steel 16" Trailer Wheels With 6 on 5-1/2" Bolt Pattern Here is a list of our 16" steel trailer wheels which have the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. We will not have any wheels which have the 95.4mm pilot hole you are needing which should not likely be an issue since trailers will typically use a coned Lug Nut # CE11051 which lug centers the wheel rather than hub centering the wheel like several vehicles will require. If your trailer hub is hub centric and uses a Flange Nut # LI84FR you will need to have an centric ring adapter made to fit the wheels....
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Wheels to Fit 215/85-16 Size TiresFirst of all your tire size, 215/85-16 sounds like it's a passenger vehicle tire and not a trailer tire. Trailer tire sizes begin with "ST" for special trailer. I recommend using ST tires because they have a stiffer sidewall to handle the vertical load of a trailer. If your tires are trailer tires then you're good to go. But if they aren't I would get some trailer tires. The exception is that some LT tires can be used on trailers. Your 7.50-16's that you had were likely LT tires....
view full answer... - Can ST225/75R15 Trailer Tires be Replaced with ST235/85R16 Trailer TiresThe tires that you have now, ST225/75R15, are 28.4 inches tall and 8 inches wide. The larger ST235/85R16 are 31.6 inches tall and 9.25 inches wide. You would need enough space all around the existing tires to use the larger size. Only half of the difference is applied towards the trailer from the sidewall and above the tire tread to a fender or trailer body. That means that you would need more than 1.6 inches above the tread and more than 0.625 inches between the sidewalls and the trailer...
view full answer... - What is Negative and Positive Wheel OffsetYes, a negative offset moves the tire further away from the axle/trailer, while a positive offset will move the tire closer to the trailer. Most of the trailer wheels we carry have a zero offset, which means that the the mounting surface is on the same plane as the center line of the wheel. This is done to equalize the weight of the trailer load. The offset of our wheels is listed under "Specs." For instance, the offset for the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20741 is listed as...

- Determining Bolt Pattern of 16 inch Trailer Wheel for ReplacementFor 6 lug wheels we need the dimension across the center of the wheel from stud to stud to determine bolt pattern. You most likely have the very common 6 lug pattern of 6 on 5-1/2 inch but you'd need to measure first to verify. The white wheel part # AM20741 that you referenced has this bolt pattern and should work well for you but it's probably worth verifying first.

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Tire Replacement for 7.00-15 Size TiresIf you need replacement tires that have at least a 29.4" diameter that your current 7.00-15 tires have then you need size 235/80-16 tires. These have a diameter of 30.9" so they will sit about 0.5" closer to your fender than your current tires. You will need to note the width does change a bit. Your current tires are 7.8" wide while the new size is 9.25" wide. Be sure to check and make sure that you have enough room on your fender for that. We recommend at least 1-1/2" from the side of...
view full answer... - What Size Wheel Has Weight Capacity of 3,000-Lbs or More For 6K Axle with 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt PatternThe highest weight capacity available for a 15 inch wheel with a 6 on 5-/12 inch bolt pattern is 2,830 lbs. You will need to use a 16 inch wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern to get a wheel that has a 3,000-lb or higher weight capacity. I have the Dexstar Conventional 16 x 6 Steel Wheel, part # AM20758, that has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and a weight capacity of 3,040 lbs at 80 psi. Also available is the Dexstar 16 x 6 White Spoke Steel Wheel, part # AM20741. This is a white...
view full answer... - Backspacing of the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20758Sounds like you are either asking for the pilot diameter (the diameter of the hole in the middle of the wheel), which is 3.65 inches, or you are asking about the bolt pattern of the wheel which is 6 on 5-1/2 inch. The backspacing is 3-1/2 inches and there are no hub caps available for this wheel. The closest thing to a white version of this wheel would be the part # AM20741, but it has a larger pilot diameter at 4.27 inches.
