Will Americana Center Cap Fit into Dexstar Steel Trailer Wheel

Question

Question:

I am looking to purchase 3 of these Dexstar Steel Mini ModTrailer Wheel - 15inch x 6inch Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black Finish. I would like to ask which center cap to use with this wheel? It has center bore of 3.19 but the closest thing you offer on the website is AM90195 Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Chrome Plated - 3.33inch Pilot. I got this part number from the site of the info of this wheel, but quite frankly I cant help but feel it will not fit. Can I get some conformation of fitment please?

The Americana Center Cap # AM90195 is for wheels with pilot holes of 3.33 inches, this will not work for you.

The Dexstar Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20545 is a 15 inch wheel with a pilot hole of 3.19 inches. You can choose the Americana Stainless Steel # AM90175 instead.

I attached a review of both caps to help you make your choice.

A 235/75R15 size tire will mount to a 15 inch wheel that features a width range of 6 to 8.50 inches. With this in mind, the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel #AM20545 that you referenced should work nicely with your off-road tires, as it features…

Answer 9

The Dexstar Mini Mod Trailer Wheel part #AM20545 as with all trailer wheels do not have a psi rating. The reason for this is because the wheel itself will never be the limiting factor but instead the valve stem. If you need a high pressure valve stem…
