Expert Reply:
If you are attempting to determine your bolt pattern and got 2-7/8 inches for your "D" measurement (like in the accompanying diagram) it does not mean it would be 5 on 5" because it could just as easily be a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.
What I recommend doing is measuring from the center of one bolt hole to the outside edge of the bolt hole farthest away from it on your wheel. This is the easiest method to determine the correct wheel bolt pattern.
I have also added a link to a help article I recommend reading about how to figure out the correct bolt pattern. I have also linked our selection of trailer wheels for you to take a look at when you do find out what your bolt pattern is.
