Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.

Bolt Pattern - Odd

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)

Bolt Pattern - Even

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)

Bolt Pattern - Side

Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

  • If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
  • If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
  • If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
  • If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Video Transcript for All About the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Dexstar 15 inch by six inch black spoke steel trailer wheel, with a six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this wheel is a nice sturdy steel construction. As we mentioned, it's an eight spoke design wheel. It does offer excellent corrosion resistance, 'cause they use a two step finishing process on the wheel, which will include first an eco primer and then a black powder coat finish over that. This is a high quality wheel.

Does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications. Now one thing, if you notice this wheel does not come with a center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separate on our website. You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll have the same diameter as this pilot hole right here, 'cause when you install your center cap, it goes through this hole. Diameter on this pilot hole is 4.27 inches.

This wheel is made in the USA. A few measurements I wanna give you on this wheel. The diameter which will be measured inside to inside. So if we go inside to inside, there's your 15 inch diameter. The width will be the same way.

It's measured inside to inside or bead seat to bead seat. There's your six inch width, and the bolt pattern on this wheel is a six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel, that's an even number of lugs. Like in this case, six. It's pretty easy because if you notice the lug holes, they are directly across from each other.

So when you go to measure, it's pretty easy. You just pick any hole, let's say this one, and you'll measure from the center of this hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. It'll measure five and a half inches on this wheel. So that's a six lug five and a half inch bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20, and the weight capacity on this wheel is 2,860 pounds. But that's gonna do it for the review on this Dexstar 15 inch by six inch black spoke steel trailer wheel at the six on five and a half inch bolt pattern.

Built very nice. They look awesome on my trailer. Kudos to etrailer for safe and secure packing! They were totally protected and undamaged. I can’t say the same for a competitor, they sent rims loose in a box and they didn’t fare well at all and were sent back. This is one of many reasons why I trust etrailer.



by:

One of the wheels had a manufactured cosmetic defect. I would've given a 5 star. It's a gouge in the steel. Also online in the video it shows the inside of wheels being powder coated but these are not.



by:

Competitive prices, fast delivery. However, when UPS delivered the box, it had been opened. The tire was considerably deformed, but did not appear damaged. I contacted customer service and was advised to set it out in the sun for a while. After 2 hours, the tire was only slightly less deformed. It was nearly impossible to inflate since the bead would not make contact with the wheel rim. I was able to finally inflate the tubeless tire by installing a tube.



by:

They look GREAT! I needed to replace tires on my camper trailer and decided to go with black wheels to match rims on my Nissan NV3500 I pull the trailer with. Happy with look and functionality of these wheels.



by:

Shipping was quick, and etrailer service was great. Shown in pic are two rims purchase with 14ply tires installed on them on my RV Toy Hauler. Plan on buying two more in a couple weeks.



by:

Great service. placed the order Monday AM received the order on Wednesday afternoon. Just what I had ordered and well packed, 2 rims per box. Remounted tires on the new rims and installed back on my Featherlight trailer. Looks a lot better than the old rusty wheels, Thank you



by:

5 on 5 is an uncommon bolt pattern for trailers but this place has them. Have not mounted tires yet but they fit my old trailer great in the test fit, even the hub bore is snug but not too tight



by:

Exactly as described! Quick shipping! Excellent quality! I already have tires mounted and the tires and rims mounted on the trailer! The trailer has 8” rims I needed bigger ones for highway travel! These fit the bill!



by:

I bought five wheels, all the same size. Four were the wheels I ordered, the fifth was a different size. Customer service seems to have no interest in rectifying the problem, and I am too bust running a business to run them down on the phone. I'll pick a different trailer company to do business with.



by:

Nice looking wheels at a great price!! These really dressed up my old boat trailer, couldn’t be happier!! The service was awesome and shipping was fast. I’ll be doing more business with etrailer.



by:

Overall they are great, however a couple of the wheels are scratched. Not a big deal for a trailer wheel. Don’t know if it was from shipping or prior to, however the boxes didn’t appear to be damaged.



by:

Great purchase! Totally happy with shipping and product! I’ve got the website stored and ready to use if needed. Thanks,



by:

The wheels themselves are very nice and well made. I appreciate that they are manufactured in the USA. I did not rate them higher due to a couple of issues, neither one having to do with the wheels' design or construction.

First of all, the description on the website does not state that these wheels use the larger valve stem size, .625" instead of .453". As a result, I had a last minute scramble before a camping trip to get the correct diameter TPMS senders. The descriptions for all the wheels sold by etrailer should state the valve stem hole diameter.

Second, as pointed out in many reviews, the wheels were improperly packed, and/or mishandled at the warehouse. All of them had small dings on the edges of the rims, where the paint had been chipped off. I am surprised that this is still happening after all the reviews that mention the issue. In my case etrailer provided a partial refund, that I appreciated. Had I not been under a tight schedule to get my trailer ready for a long trip, I would have asked for a replacement set of wheels instead.



by:

Able to match existing rims, fast delivery and great communication with Customer service to find correct bolt pattern and style,



by:

Good trailer wheel. Great price and fast delivery. Joanne even refunded my sales tax after I sent her my agricultural tax exemption.



by:

A great product that I haven't had to use yet!
E-Trailer equals unparalleled customer service.



by:

I was very impressed with these new rims when I opened the box. It was immediately apparent that they are very solid, well built, well constructed rims. The finish is very good quality. They will work very well on my trailer. I would without question purchase them again from etrailer. I do have one issue; value stems. I was expecting these rims to have standard size valve stems: NOT. Had I known this I would have ordered them with the rims. It would have been nice for etrailer to have included a set. Not a dealbreaker. I will pick them up at a local parts store.



by:

Shipping wall quick, but when I had the tire mounted and started to balance notice a bad wobble, even after re-chucking machine twice more. Called etrailer and they sent out another one that evening Wednesday, got notice UPS will deliver Friday. All I can say what GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Being an Auto Repair Manager myself this means repeat customers and a good name for repeat business. The first two rims I got was fine and mounted on Toy Hauler. Will do business for sure again.

I bought 4 of these wheels because they were American made and powder coated. After receiving them, they were all damaged in shipment due to poor packaging. Two wheels per box separated by a small piece of cardboard stapled to the inside of the box. This piece came loose during shipment and destroyed the wheels. etrailer customer service was outstanding in sending another set and setting up a return. Issues...the second set was requested to be sent in individual boxes to prevent damage, however they were again packaged 2 per box with a little larger piece of cardboard. There was still severe chipping of the finish, but no physical denting like the first set. The powder E-coat primer/powdercoat finish is weak at best. The powdercoat is almost non existent on the inside of the wheel. The finish rubs off on the inside of the cardboard box turning it white, and the way it is flaking off of the wheels indicates to me that the powdercoat process used is flawed. 2nd time around I reached out to Dexstar wheel directly, and have returned those wheels to them for examination of the finish. Dexstar is replacing them for me direct as they told me etrailer purchases these wheels from another distributor and not directly from Dexstar. Like I told etrailer and Dexstar, for the price of these wheels, they should have a much better finish. I have 2 Chinese made white painted wheels that are in way better shape for 1/3 of the cost of these. I would not recommend purchasing these wheels from etrailer if you want a quality wheel. Hopefully the replacements directly from Dexstar will arrive in better shape, however I feel the finish will be the same and uneven on the inside at best as the Dexstar sales manager told me they don't put much powder on the inside of the wheel, because the E-coat primer keeps the wheel sealed. Disappointed all around with the product, but both customer service departments have been excellent.



by:

I actually bought 3 of theses and wheels for an overlanding trailer I built from a CE Smith boat trailer and other parts I bought from etrailer. I am happy with these tires and wheels as well as the trailer and other parts.



by:

Fast and fantastic service fast delivery. Will be a repeat customer.



by:

I love these wheels! They are everything I expected and more ; they not only look good , they are strong enough for the weight I haul. They were packaged good and I received them without any flaws. Thank you!



by:

Poorly executed product and delivery. Wheels are only powder coated on the face so the back of the wheels are free to rust. Wheels are advertised as powder coated. They should specify face only. The pictures in the listing show powder coat all over. Next thing is the packing. Someone thought is was a good idea to stick 2 40lb pieces of metal in the same box with nothing to protect them from each other or from outside impacts. Wheels have chips in what little powder coat there is and have flat spots around the circumference of all wheels. Very disappointed. Wish I could return and take my money elsewhere but I've heard negative stories about etrailer customer service. I'm not sure it's worth my time.



by:

These 13" steel wheels were the perfect solution to upgrade my original , white, 12" trailer wheels from 1979. The 4 on 4 bolt pattern in 13" is just what I was looking for and only etrailer could provide it.



by:

I ordered and received 3 steel trailer wheels I received the order 3-4 days as promised. The ordering process was very efficient and the person who worked with me was very helpful. All three wheels were in shipped in the same box with very little packing between the wheels. There was some scratches on the powder coating and the outer edges of one of the wheels is slightly damaged. Just should have been packaged better.
