How To Determine Wheel Bolt Pattern To Get Correct Tire/Wheel Combo For Cargo Trailer
Question:
I have a 2003 Homesteader trailer, covered cargo. I need a spare wheel and tire. On the unit are 15 inch tires. I need to measure for the bolt pattern. How do I do that? Is it center to center or end of stud to end of stud?

The easiest way to determine the bolt hole pattern on your wheel is to take a simple measurement.
Just measure the distance from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole next to it. If the distance is:2-5/8-inches then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2. If it measures 2-3/4 inches the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4. If that distance is 3 inches the bolt pattern is 5 on 5, and if it measures 3-1/4 inches the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2.
