The Aluminum Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 7" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 # LHJM513 has a 4.88" pilot diameter and will work for your horse trailer. Ther pilot diameter does not have to match your old wheel because this wheel fits over the lugs of your hub, and not the pilot hole, so you just need the correct size lug nuts to match your hub.
This wheel is compatible with the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 9/16"-18 # LHLR110.
For a center cap you can use the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Center Cap # LHCS109 and add the Snap-In Plug for Lionshead Trailer Wheel Center Caps # LHSI60C.
I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well, including of the Aluminum Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 7" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 # LHJM513.
