Are There Any Wheels with 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern That Accept Baby Moon Hub Caps

Question:

Im finishing up a full restoration of a 1977 Scamp 13 trailer. I mounted a Timbren suspension with 15x5 5x5 bolt pattern wheels. It currently has generic white wheels like your Lionshead 8 spoke steel wheels, but I want to put a more vintage style steel wheel like the old GMC car and truck wheels that either will take a moon-style hub cap or that I can mount clips to take a moon-style hub cap. Ive done the latter on 356 Porsches. All of the wheels Ive found are either 6 or 7 widths - but surely some old trailers used that style steel wheel? Hoping you can help.

The vast majority of trailer wheels use a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern like the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheels part # AM20504 which are designed to accept the Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap part # AM90086. Therefore, in order to use this style of wheel you'll need to switch to a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

Since you have the Timbren 2K Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension you can do this with either the Dexter Hub part # 84545UC1-EZ or Dexter Hub and Drum part # 84546UC3-EZ.
