Measuring a Trailer Wheel to Confirm a 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern

Question:

I want to make sure I get the right size rim. Is this a 5 x 5 or 5 x 4.5? Thank you

With you measuring 3 inches from the center of 2 holes right next to each other and then got 5 inches when you went center of one hole, skipped one, and then went to the back end of the next hole, you definitely have a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. That being said, the Taskmaster Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Silver Mod Wheel # TA43ZR will be a good option as a replacement. This is rated up to 1,820 pounds at 50 psi and has an M speed rating, meaning it is rated up to 81 miles per hour. The radial tire also means it will run cooler on long distant trips, extending the life of the tire.
