Does Hub Bore for 8-201-9UC3-EZ Have Any Bearing on Wheel Center Cap

Question:

Hello, What size wheel center cap will fit over the hub? 6 Lug wheels have center bore sizes from 3 to 4 1/2.

You can use any center cap that fits the wheel's pilot hole with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum for 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. The size of the hub bore is 2.446" and that matters simply in regards to the grease cap, which is provided.

For a wheel, let's say as an example you used the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 # LHSL311, which has a 4.25" pilot diameter. For that you can use the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Center Cap w/ Snap-In Plug - 4.25" Pilot # LHCS108-SI60C.
