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 - 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 - 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 - Side

Measuring the distance (D) 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"

i called and bought 2 more hubs thanks



by:

Great quality, great prices. I converted an old gooseneck trailer from the open center mobile home-style hubs to modern 6k hubs on a budget. These hubs fit in place of the old hubs on the rear axle, which I chose not to install brakes on.



by:

Best company to deal with. Wasn't sure witch hubs I needed so called them an they found what I needed. Best customer service an product.



by:

Trailer hubs are working great despite being immersed in salt water regularly.



by:

This is the second time that I have ordered from etrailer. The first idler hub is still working fine on my boat trailer. I use the trailer to haul my boat to the Salish Sea off Port Angeles. The trailer is immersed in salt water every time I launch and retrieve the boat.



by:

Complete accurate and overall fast and speedy shipping, couldn’t find this product anywhere even local trailer dealers, but Etrailer.com had these, I would buy from them again !!!



by:

Everything I needed with convenient shipping and reasonable pricing!



by:

I am very happy with Etrailer, Great service and delivery. Lots of information to help me get the hubs I needed to change over from mobile home wheels to standard 6 lug trailer wheels. Shipping was fast and I even received a phone call before they shipped, because the address they were sent to did not match the billing address.
Thanks etrailer, Gary B



by:

We use etrailer for nearly every component of the custom trailers we fabricate. Great parts, great service and great prices.



by:

Good Product easy to install. Use the assembly every day. No problems with it for over a year.



by:

restoring an old trailer, these went on without a hitch.



by:

The hubs replaced my old rusted ones perfectly. I selected two day shipping when I ordered on Saturday but I didn't receive the order until Wednesday. The box was damaged and one of the caps were damaged by the hub because of not enough packing material in the box.

Great fit and finish. Fitment is perfec t.

  • Can 5-Spoke Utility Hub Be Replaced with Hub with Standard Bolt Pattern
    We have some hubs that can replace the 5-Spoke utility-style you're currently using, but they use a 6 lug pattern which actually works out because you'll need to replace your wheels for your tires anyways. To increase your tire size I recommend a 235/80-16 tire (which reduces your clearance by 2" altogether) so for a complete set of parts you'll need the following: - Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-6-K - Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-K - 10-10 Grease or Oil Double-Lip...

  • Recommended Spindle, Idler Hub, Wheels and Tires For Homemade Cart Trailer Off Road Use Only
    We have the #42 Spindle # TRU57FR that you can weld to your trailer. It is a 2-1/4" round stub as we do not have any square stub spindles that are rated for over 2,500lbs per spindle. With these spindles you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-6-K since you do not need a braking hub. The hub is 6 on 5-1/2" as the 5 lug wheels are not strong enough for the 10,000lb capacity that you are needing. The Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel # AM3S870...

  • What is Minimum Pilot Diameter Wheel the Hub # AKIHUB-655-6-K Requires
    The pilot diameter of the wheel that would fit on the # AKIHUB-655-6-K would need to be more than 3-1/8 inches as that is the outer diameter of the center section of the portion of the hub.

  • Availability of 6K Idler Hub with 2.125 ID Grease Seals
    We don't offer the # AKIHUB-655-6-K hubs with the 2.125 inch ID grease seal, but the seals are available as a separate item as part # RG06-090 for a pair or individually as # GS-2125DL.

  • Idler Hub with 6 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern Recommendation for Timbren System # ASR35HDS02
    I have a solution for you, but the # 84655UC1-EZ will not fit on the spindles of the # ASR35HDS02. For a similar idler hub that is confirmed to fit you would want the # AKIHUB-655-6-K. This is an idler hub with the same bolt pattern that will fit the spindles of the Timbren.

  • Replacement Bearings 2788 and 1779
    Bearing # 2788 has an inner diameter of 1.50-inches and fits race # 2729. Bearing # 1779 has an inner diameter of 0.938-inches and fits race # 1729. We do offer all of these bearing and race parts and if you wish you can install new bearings in your current hubs. The idler hub you referenced, part # AKIHUB-655-6-K, uses different bearings that have different dimensions. The bearings in this hub are inner bearing # 25580 (1.75-inch inner diameter) and outer bearing # 15123 (1.25-inch inner...

  • How to Select Correct Replacement Idler Hubs for Trailer
    When substituting new hubs you need to match several things: the axle capacity, the wheel bolt pattern and the bearing set used inside the hub. Bearing dimensions can be used instead of the bearing part numbers but the part numbers are the best way to ensure the new hub will fit properly on your spindles. Matching the inner and outer bearing numbers ensures compatibility. You can also measure your current hubs' outside-to-inside depth (the distance from the outer bore where a grease cap...

  • 3,500 lb Timbren Setup Recommendation for Off-Road Wheels and Tires
    For a wheel and tire that big your best option would be the Timbren kit part # ASR35HDS02 which is set up for wider tires and also has a 4 inch lift built into it. This is the same 3,500 lb capacity though. That being said we can only safely recommend using trailer rated wheels and tires wit this kit. For just a hub without a drum you would want the part # AKIHUB-655-6-K.

  • Recommended Trailer Idler Hubs and 15 Inch Wheels and Tires for Utility Trailer
    The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKIHUB-655-6-K is a confirmed fit for your spindle. I was able to confirm this hub assembly will fit as low as 14-1/2 inch rims, but since you are wanting more standard size, I strongly suggest 15 inch wheels and tires. I recommend the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Vesper Spoke Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Load Range D # TA23MR. This combination will give you a load rating of 2150 lbs at 65 psi and a...

  • Availability of Independent Suspension Trailer Axle Kit for Off-Road Trailer with 6 Lug Hub
    Sounds like you may be looking for an axle kit like the Timbren Axle-Less part # ASR35HDS02. This is a 3,500 lb axle setup that has a 4 inch lift built into it and is spaced out for off-road tires. For an idler hub that fits it with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern we have the part # AKIHUB-655-6-K.

  • Recommended Wheels and Tires for 6 on 5-1/2 Inch Idler Hubs
    The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-655-6-K will work well with wheels like the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Modular White Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Load Range D # AM32673 each of which are rated for 2,540 lbs. You won't have any issues with speed on these as anything with that bolt pattern will be rated for highway speeds and the holding weight will be above what you need for the shipping container.

  • Dexter Axle Hub Conversion for 14.5 Inch or 15 Inch Wheels on Equipment Trailer
    Thanks for the information on your trailer. For your axle with brakes I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K if you have the spindles with the integrated grease zerk. If you have standard spindles, I recommend # AKHD-655-6-K which have the standard grease cap instead. These assemblies will fit perfectly with your axles based on the bearing and seal information you gave as well as 14.5 inch wheels. Then...

  • Replacement Hub and Spindle For Trailer Using Tapered Spindle With Timken 24780 and 10183 Bearings
    I do have a recommendation for you as we do not carry a hub which will work with your current spindle. Instead you can replace your spindles with the more commonly found #42 Spindle # TRU57FR. This will allow you to easily slide on a hub for a 6 on 5-1/2" Bolt Pattern # AKIHUB-655-6-K or one with the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern # AKIHUB-865-7-2-K. Both these hubs include pre packed bearings, races and grease seals for easy installation.

  • Axle Recommendation for Building Off Road Trailer with Hubs with 6 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern
    Since the plan is for the trailer to be an off-road trailer I would recommend a Timbren system that has a built in lift and is set up for wider tires. For that the # ASR35HDS02 would be perfect as it fits that criteria. Also, since these don't have an axle that runs through them that helps significantly with ground clearance. For a brake hub that would fit the spindle you would want the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ as it also has the correct bolt pattern. For just an idler hub you would want the...

  • Axle-Less Suspension Setup for 2,000 lb Trailer that Have 6 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern Hubs
    I have a solution for you, but it will require you to go up to the 3,500 lb version of the Timbren. For that you would want the # ASR35HDS02 and then for hubs part # AKIHUB-655-6-K.

  • Which Hub Assembly is Compatible with the Agricultural Spindle # TRU34FR
    Although the outer bearing of the # AKIHUB-655-6-K hub assembly will fit, the inner bearing will be too large. Instead, you'll need the Complete Agricultural Hub Assembly, # AH30660FCOMP, which is designed to fit the agricultural spindle # TRU34FR. I've attached a couple of review videos for you to check out.

  • Spindle and Hub for 6,000 Pound Axle
    You will want part # TRU57FR for your standard spindle that is compatible with the hub # AKIHUB-655-6-K you mentioned. Another option is # TRU67FR which is an agricultural spindle to fit the 6k capacity. The hub compatible with this spindle is the # AH60880FCOMP.

  • Can Hub AKIHUB-655-6-K be Used in Place of Hub 8-213-5UC1
    You can use hub # AKIHUB-655-6-K provided that the larger seal is a proper fit for your spindle. The smaller one included with hub # 8-213-5UC1 would provide a tighter fit but if your current seal inner diameter is 2-1/4 inches then hub # AKIHUB-655-6-K will be fine. If it is smaller then the larger seal would cause grease to leak out.

  • Can The Hubs On Mobile Home Axles Be Changed To Use Conventional Trailer Wheels and Tires?
    Your mobile home axle uses a specific spindle which is not compatible with a more traditional hub like the Assembly # AKIHUB-655-6-K you found. You will want to find an entire replacement axle like the Dexter # 7461121-EB. If you can provide me with the dimensions on your axle I can help you locate a replacement.

A lot of folks do use them anyway but find that the hubs, and bearings and other components are really difficult to find. You would need to remove the hubs on the spindles and use a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 and measure the spindle where the inner and outer bearings ride to find the correct replacements.

    Sounds like you have hubs like either the # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which is a hub/drum or the # AKIHUB-655-6-K which is an idler hub. Both hubs use the # 25580 inner and # 15123 outer bearing, which is compatible with the spindle used by the Timbren # ASR35HDS02 axle-less suspension that would give you an independent suspension setup.
