Hub-Piloted Wheel
This wheel is hub piloted, which means that it centers on the hub, not the lugs. The wheel requires the use of flange nuts (sold separately) for installation.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish
The steel wheel goes through a 3-step finishing process that makes it both attractive and corrosion resistant. The wheel is first submerged in a zinc phosphate bath to ensure good paint adhesion. It is then e-coated with an acrylic primer base and finished on both sides with baked-on DuPont powder paint.
Provider Radials
Provider radials are constructed with double polyester cords and double steel belts for increased durability and endurance. A protective layer of nylon is wrapped around the steel belts to help prevent tread separation. Provider radials are bake tested - a process usually reserved for automotive tires - to ensure that the rubber holds up over time.
Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.
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 the Taskmaster Provider 215/75R17.5 Radial Tire in a Load Range H, mounted on this 17 and a half inch silver solid center wheel with an offset and an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this tire wheel assembly's ideal for heavy duty trucks and trailers. The heavy duty steel wheel with the solid center design is sturdy and corrosion resistant. The finish on it, it's a three step finishing process they use, which will include a zinc phosphate bath, then an eco primer, and then a nice silver powder coat on both sides of the wheel. Now this wheel here, it is a hub piloted wheel, which means it'll center on the hub.
It does require a close fit of the center pilot hole to the hub. The pilot hole diameter right here is 4.76 inches. Now, hub piloted wheels do require the use of flange nuts for installation. Those flange nuts, we do sell separate on our website and they're usually listed on this product page as related product. The flange nut size they use is five eights of an inch by 18.
Now, this wheel does also have a negative offset of 0.51 inches. Now, a negative offset is when the hub mounting surface right back here is behind the center line of the wheel. That negative offset, basically, the center line of the wheel is right here. So this mounting surface over on this side here will be behind the wheel center line and that means it's a negative offset. And negative offset moves the tire away from the center line of the trailer.
Now this is used as a radial tire on it. A radial tire is constructed with double steel belts and double polyester cords for nice long life. It is great for highway use. They do use a nylon tread firming belt overlay around the tire to help prevent tread separation. And the tire itself is baked tested to ensure that the rubber holds up over time.
Now this assembly is created specifically for heavy duty trucks and trailers. It's not intended for use on other vehicles. This assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and it will exceed your federal motor vehicle safety standard. A few dimensions on this, on the wheel itself. The diameter, 17 and a half inches. The width on just the wheel, six and three quarter inches. The bolt pattern on this wheel is an eight lug on six and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that, here's your eight holes. It's pretty easy, cause on a wheel that has an even number of lugs, like in this one, eight, the holes are right across from each other. So when you go to measure it, just pick any hole, measure from the center of that hole to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this it'll measure six and a half inches, so it's an eight plug, six and a half inch bolt pattern. Weight capacity on just the wheel is 6,005 pounds and the tire size is always stamped on the side wall. So right here you can see 215/75R17.5. The R means that it is a radial tire. The section width. So the section width right here on the tire is 8.3 inches. Overall diameter from the very bottom to the very top when it's inflated is 30.2 inches. This tire is a Load Range H which means it's a 16 ply rated tire, so it does have a maximum load capacity of 4,805 pounds at 123 psi. And then the last thing I do wanna mention, most all these tires do have a speed rating stamped on them, and the what you can tell is they stamp it on the side wall with a letter designation. So on this one right after the size we just went over, you'll see two numbers for the load index and then they stamp a letter M. Speed rating M will mean that this has an 81 mile per hour speed rating. But that should do it for the review on this Taskmaster Provider 215/75R17.5 Radial Tire in a Load Range H on this 17 and a half inch silver solid center wheel with an offset and an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern..

Excellent product shipped in a reasonable amount of time.
The tire and wheel is exactly as represented. I am very happy with order and was surprised at how fast it arrived.
The tire came only 3 days after I ordered it & it was as advertised. It would have been nice if UPS WOULD have put their heavy stickers on the wrap that came from the factory. It took a lot to remove all of the stickers off the tire
Basically it was my only choice for the size I needed. Although on the surface it seems just fine… does everything need to come from China?? I would prefer to source from anywhere but there? Preferably USA!
Great qwik delivery,will use again!!
Super fast shipping and delivery! Would definitely recommend!
Great service
