Taskmaster Trailer Tires and Wheels - TA56FR

  • Wheel Only
  • 16 Inch
  • 8 on 6-1/2 Inch
  • Steel Wheels - Acrylic Enamel
  • Taskmaster

16" x 6" Hub-piloted wheel has a 4.77" pilot diameter hole. ±5.35" Offset allows wheel to be used as the inner or outer wheel of a dual-wheel setup. Acrylic enamel finish resists damage better than powder coat finishes.


Features:

  • Heavy-duty wheel is designed for use on dually trucks, buses, and trailers
    • Offset allows wheel to be used as either the inner or outer wheel of a dual-wheel setup
  • Sturdy steel wheel has 4 hand holes
  • Silver acrylic enamel finish resists chipping and other damage better than powder coat finishes
    • Finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pre-treatment and covers an e-coat primer layer
    • Excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than 1,000 hours
  • Center disc is spun-formed from fine-grained steel and welded into place for strength and durability
  • Hub-piloted wheel requires the use of flange nuts (sold separately)
  • Metal valve stem is included
  • Wheel meets SAE J1204 standards


Specs:

  • Rim dimensions: 16" diameter x 6" wide
  • Bolt pattern: 8 on 6-1/2"
  • Flange nut size: 5/8"-18
  • Capacity: 3,860 lbs
  • Pilot diameter: 4.77"
  • Offset: ±5.35"
  • 2-Year limited warranty


Built-In Offset for Dual Applications

This wheel is designed to be used in dual-wheel setups. The 5.35" offset allows the wheel to be positioned closer to the trailer frame when used as the inner wheel of the setup. And if you use this wheel in the outer position, the offset ensures that it will sit closer to the outside of your trailer. This hub-piloted wheel centers on the hub, not the lugs, and it requires the use of flange nuts (sold separately) for installation.


Durable Acrylic Enamel Finish

Maxion Wheels Vesper Acrylic Enamel Finish

This wheel has a durable acrylic enamel finish on the front. The finish is applied after the wheel goes through an environmentally safe zinc phosphate pre-treatment and is coated with an e-coat primer layer. Compared to powder coat finishes, this finish resists getting chipped from flying road debris or scraped from hitting a curb for a longer period of time. These acrylic enamel wheels performed for more than 1,000 hours in salt spray tests.


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 quality wheels. Ordered 8 of them for a flatbed trailer. Worked well on a 1,200 mile trip hauling 13,000 lbs of equipment directly after replacing the old rims with no issues. Thank you for providing a quality product at a great price with good customer service!

still looking New



by:

Very fast shipping. Very happy with the wheels. I had my tires mounted and balanced on the new wheels within 2 hours. Out of 8 steel wheels 3 were perfect without any weights. 3 took 3 oz. of weight. 2 needed 3 oz. plus. I'm very happy with the purchase.



by:

These wheels do fit an 8 lug Dana 70 axel with a 6.5" bolt pattern on a 1968 Ford dually with drum brakes. Seems the internet gave me a runaround with many messages saying "they will not work!" The only downside is there is no interlocking for hub to hub, like my Ford rims with raised and depressed lug holes. However, I'm running singles for the time being, so for me there is no issue.



by:

Great communication and extremely fast shipping. Fit my 1974 Dodge W300 perfectly (Dana 70)



by:

Only been a year but for the use and abuse I put em through they're great. Wish they were available in black



by:

Fast delivery and excellent communication with customer service.



by:

Very easy to do business with. Very good quality wheels. I will recommend them and look forward to doing further business with them.



by:

The wheel looks very nice and came packaged really well



by:

Good quality product, will purchase aga in.



by:

This wheel was supposed to have a 4.77" center bore. The one they sent is a 4.90" center bore. I was told by the factory not to use anything but a 4.77" or my studs will break off of the Dexter axle. I have not heard back yet on what etrailer can do.

Heavy duty wheel. Great price. Definitely recommend. Bought it for a spare for my gooseneck, tandem dual dump trailer.

Great product and great service!!! Thank you

What I thought it was going to be



by:

The time frame of delivery was on time, and the rims arrived un damaged! Great job!



by:

Very pleased with the paint quality, accuracy of hole location and diameter of the hub center. It was a plus to see it came with a steel valve stem installed and plus they arrived 4 days ahead of their expected delivery date! The less amount of down time the best!



by:

Perfect replacement to get rid of 16 1/2 inch wheels for my Dexter 10 ton axles



by:

Vesper is a great manufacturer of wheels, so glad you carry them!



by:

Wish etrailer had one with a 4.60 pilot hole to perfectly fit the Chevy Express 4500 cutaway, but this is for a spare.



by:

Delivery was horrible.they did not ring the bell, left heavy long box on the street outside the gate. I can not lift heavy weights due to health condition, but had no choice and pushed it inside, jeopardizing my condition.



by:

Happy with the price and quality.

This is what I needed to have a spare tire for my RV

  • Recommended Spare Wheel for a 2021 Ford E350SD DRW L
    We have a couple of options for spare wheels that may work on your Coachmen Leprechaun. You will want to measure the pilot hole of one of the rims currently on your motorhome to determine which one will work for you. 4.75 Pilot Hole - Dexstar Dual Wheel with Offset item # AM20783 4.77 Pilot Hole - Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel item # TA56FR Both of these are 16" x 6" wheel with an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern.

  • Replacement 16 Inch 8 Lug Wheel With 5.35 Inch Offset for 245/75R16 Tire
    It sounds like you're needing the Vesper Steel 16" wheel. This comes with a 4.77" Pilot Hole as part # TA56FR or a 4.88" Pilot Hole as part # MX89FR. These have a 16" diameter and a 6" width which will fit just fine for your 245/7R16 tires just fine. If you measure bead seat to bead seat it should measure closer to that 6" width. Aside from that width all of the other specs match when you convert millimeters to inches.

  • Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch and B&W Companion for Ford F-350 Flatbed
    For your 2012 Ford F-350 Flatbed I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks - 30,000 lbs item # BWGNRK1500. This will mount level with the bed for you to have an attachment point for your 5th wheel hitch. For your 5th wheel hitch I recommend one of the best ones on the market. It is the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3050. The Companion has a 25,000 lbs towing capacity and its dual locking jaw gives...

  • What Spare Tire And Rim Will Fit My ST235/80R-16 With A 4.77" Pilot Hole And 8 Bolt Pattern
    It sounds like you need Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" - 8 on 6-1/2 - 4.77" Pilot - Silver # TA56FR. This matches your wheel diameter of 16" and has a 4.77" pilot diameter and is 8 on 6-1/2" like you need. However, this measures 6" wide, whereas you say that your current wheel is 8" wide. I checked SRW's website and didn't see any 16" x 8" wheels like that so I would double check that you do in fact have 8" wide wheels. We do not have any 16" x 8" wheels. If you need a tire...

    We do have some replacement wheels that you can see with parts # AM20783, # LHHA420, and # TA56FR if you're only needing the wheel. Since this is on a motorhome you're actually going to need to look into regular vehicle tires if you need a tire as well. We only handle trailer tires and even though they look similar they have a different type of design so you won't want to use anything we have as a replacement for your motorhome. That extra hole is so that you ca align both wheels on a...

  • Can Valve Stem Extensions Be Used With The Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel
    When it comes replacing valve stems to longer valve stems the diameter of the stem hole on Vesper Wheel # TA56FR is 0.453 inches, so I recommend The Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit - 16" to 19-1/2" Dually - Hub Mount # WM8001. These extenders work with rims between 16 inches to 19-1/2 inches. They're stainless-steel-wrapped, 2-ply rubber tubing with nylon braiding. The straight hose is 13 inches from tip to tip and the 90-degree hose is 10 inches from bend to tip. These extenders...

  • Recommended Spare Wheel for a 2022 E-350SD DRW Sunseeker 2150SLE
    Yes, the Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel item # TA56FR will fit if the pilot hole is 4.77". You will just need to measure one of your current wheels to confirm. This is a 16" x 6" wheel with a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern.

    Thanks for the picture! Based on the dimensions it looks like you have the 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package on your 2012 Ford F-350. For hauling your 2009 Jayco Recon ZX M-39 A, I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP30921. This heavy-duty hitch has a wraparound jaw that offers superior jaw-to-king-pin contact for maximum security and minimum rattle. It has a 20,000 lbs weight capacity.

  • How To Confirm Fit of Vesper 16 Steel Dual Trailer Wheel
    The Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel part # TA56FR is a hub piloted trailer wheel designed for dually applications. The hub pilot that it is designed for is 4.77". It's a 16" wheel therefore designed for 16" tires. You'll also need to confirm the bolt pattern which is 8 on 6-1/2". I have attached a general tire FAQ below you will find helpful.

  • What Does The Letter Found After The Wheel Size On Some Wheels Mean?
    The letters you mentioned after the wheel width are the wheel contour. Wheel contour is the design of the beads on the wheels, and while they are important, they will work with nearly all tires correct for that width and size. Typically the wheel contour letter is more commonly found on wheels on heavy trucks and trailers, or agricultural vehicles.

  • Trailer Tires to Replace P235/70-15 Car Tires on a Horse Trailer with Dually Wheels
    You definitely need to replace the tires with trailer tires. Trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall than car tires to handle more vertical load. The steel wheels are pretty much the same as the black steel wheels such as # AM20514 so they are likely going to be fine. The smallest dually wheels we have are 16 inch, # TA56FR, which uses an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. On the wheels you have you could likely use a 225/75-15 size which would only be 0.394 inches more narrow and 0.33 inches...

    I would be happy to help you find some spare parts for your 2009 RV Jayco Recon ZX M-39 A. It sounds like you need brake assemblies, brake drums, leaf springs, and equalizers. For your brake assemblies I recommend the etrailer Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K item # AKEBRK-7-SA. These brake assemblies come as a pair so you will need one set for each braking axle your trailer has. For hub and drum assemblies I recommend the...

  • Can I Use the Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel on a Class C RV on 2019 Ford E-250 Chassis
    Yes. The Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" - 8 on 6-1/2 - 4.77" Pilot - Silver # TA56FR can be used on a Class C RV, so as long as your 2019 E-250 Cutaway has a 16" dual rear wheel with an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern; as long as that is true then this will work for you. This wheel has a 3860-lbs capacity.
