Americana Steel Trailer Wheels: Find the Right Size and Bolt Circle

A replacement trailer wheel must match more than the number of lug holes. This reference compares seven Americana spoke-style steel wheel part numbers by rim size, bolt circle, pilot opening and finish, with direct links to each wheel on NewRVParts.

1. Rim diameter and width

Use the wheel's stamped rim size, such as 15 × 5 or 15 × 6. A 15-inch tire designation alone does not establish the correct rim width.

2. Number of studs and bolt circle

Confirm the exact hub pattern. Five studs on a 4.5-inch bolt circle are different from five studs on a 5-inch bolt circle.

3. Pilot, mounting and capacity

Check the center opening, wheel offset, lug-nut seat and the required rated load for the trailer before fitting.

What needs to match on a trailer replacement wheel?

Start with the original wheel markings and trailer hub measurements. Rim diameter and width affect tire compatibility; the bolt circle determines whether the wheel mounts to the studs. The pilot opening must clear the hub, and the wheel must have the correct lug-seat configuration, offset and brake clearance.

Do not choose a wheel solely from a vehicle make or by counting lug holes. On a five-stud hub, a dedicated bolt-pattern gauge or the trailer manufacturer's documented bolt circle is more reliable than guessing from the distance between adjacent studs.

Load rating matters: This chart deliberately compares identified dimensions rather than treating visually similar wheels as carrying the same load. Verify the rated capacity marked on the exact wheel and the trailer's requirements before installation. The tire also needs an appropriate load rating.

The seven listed parts are separate wheel options. The same 15-inch diameter appears with three different bolt circles and more than one rim width, so match the entire specification—not just a single size.

Americana MPN Rim size Bolt pattern Center pilot Finish
20232 13 × 4.5 in 5 × 4.50 in 3.19 in White with stripes
20354 14 × 6 in 5 × 4.50 in 3.19 in Galvanized
20421 15 × 5 in 5 × 4.50 in 3.19 in White, no stripes
20422 15 × 5 in 5 × 4.50 in 3.19 in White with stripes
20428 15 × 5 in 5 × 5.00 in 3.19 in White with stripes
20522 15 × 6 in 5 × 4.50 in 3.19 in White with stripes
20532 15 × 6 in 6 × 5.50 in 4.27 in White with stripes

Key differences to notice

20421 and 20422 share a 15 × 5-inch rim size and 5-on-4.5 bolt circle, but the finish differs: 20421 is white without stripes, while 20422 is white with stripes.

20428 also uses a 15 × 5-inch rim, but its bolt circle is 5-on-5 rather than 5-on-4.5. It should not be substituted simply because the lug count and wheel diameter look the same.

20522 and 20532 are both 15 × 6-inch spoke wheels. The 20522 uses a 5-on-4.5 pattern, whereas 20532 uses 6-on-5.5 and a larger pilot opening. The 20354 is a galvanized 14 × 6-inch design for its stated pattern.

Before installing a replacement rim

Inspect the tire for its approved rim-width range, confirm the wheel's actual load rating and check the hub for damaged studs or incorrect lug hardware. Follow the trailer or wheel manufacturer's instructions for the correct lug-seat shape and tightening torque. Recheck wheel fasteners as directed after installation.

If you are also servicing the trailer hub, see our trailer hub caps and lug-nut reference or the Dexter wheel-bearing kit size guide.

Frequently asked questions

Will any five-lug trailer wheel fit a five-stud hub?

No. The exact bolt circle must match. For example, the 5-on-4.5 pattern on 20422 is not the 5-on-5 pattern on 20428.

Is a 15 × 5 wheel interchangeable with a 15 × 6 wheel?

Not automatically. Both use a 15-inch nominal rim diameter, but their widths differ. Confirm the trailer tire's permitted rim-width range and the wheel mounting specifications.

Can a galvanized wheel be substituted for a painted one?

Finish alone does not determine interchangeability. Compare the exact rim dimensions, bolt circle, pilot, offset, lug-seat and required load capacity.

Does the wheel's center bore have to clear the trailer hub?

Yes. Check the pilot-opening dimension and actual hub protrusions alongside the mounting and lug-seat design. Do not assume that matching the bolt circle is enough.
