Will the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20504 Fit on a Miley Horse Trailer

To determine if the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel, # AM20504, will fit on your Miley horse trailer, we will need some information about your current wheels. First, we need the bolt pattern of your current wheels. This wheel has a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2. The bolt pattern is the number of bolts and the diameter of the circle that the bolts make.

I have attached an FAQ on how to determine your bolt hole pattern for you to check out.

The next factor to consider is the size of the pilot hole of the wheel. The pilot hole must fit around the center bore of your hub. This wheel has a pilot hole of 2.62 inches, or 2-5/8 inches.

The pilot hole of the wheel is more important on hub-centric wheels than lug-centric wheels. Most trailer hubs require lug-centric wheels, meaning the wheels center on the hub using lug nuts, but some hubs require hub-centric wheels. Hub-centric wheels center on the hub using the hub bore and wheel bolts instead of lug nuts. With hub-centric wheels, the pilot hole of the wheel must be the exact same size as your current wheels because the wheels will center themselves using the center pilot hole.

If your wheels use lug-nuts, you only need to make sure the pilot hole of the wheel is larger than your hub bore, or larger or equal to the pilot hole of your current wheels.

Finally, we want to make sure your tires will fit on this wheel if you plan on using your current tires. These are 15 inch wheels that are 5 inches wide. You will want to make sure the your current tires will fit on a 15 x 5 inch wheel. If you can tell me the size of your current tires, I can tell you if they will fit.
