lug pattern

[boatms03]

can anyone tell me the lug pattern on my trailer wheels. i have a sierra 381RBOK fifth wheel trailer. its 8 lug wheels. i tried to call camping world where i purchased the trailer but they could not tell me what size they are. and i cant find a number to call forest river and actually talk to someone that knows anything about their trailers.

There you go!

I think the only other variation is the stud size, either 9/16" or 5/8".

Or 1/2"

Are all trailer wheels lug-centric, or are some hub-centric? That would make a biiig difference.

16" 8 lug trailer wheels come in several different brands and have changed a bit over the years....in particular the center hole and lug holes size.
My newer 16" 8 lug steel wheels on my newer GN equipment trailers have a larger center hole and lug holes than my older GN trailers with 16" 8 lug wheels. My equipment trailer mfg gave me a heads up some years back on possible problems shifting spare wheels between trailers.
I have a pair of old 16" 8 lug trailer wheels that came from some of my work trailers from the '70s that have very small lug holes and won't work on any of my newer trailers with Dexter or Rockwell American 16" 8 lug axles.

You have the wheels so try one on for proper fitment before hitting the road.

I just wanted to make sure they were the same lug pattern as my goosneck trailer. I was going to bring the spare tire from it on our trip next week. And before yall say it yes i could have just pulled a tire off and tried the other spare but i didnt want to do all of the labor if i didnt have to. lol "work smarter not harder" thanks for the help

If you are buying new wheels be sure you are getting trailer wheels with little to no offset. Many pick up wheels are the same bolt pattern but with considerable offset.

If he has a new 5er then his lug pattern is the same as any 8 lug trailer rim. Even an old one will be the same.

For those who are mystified about lug pattern, he is looking for a replacement rim and you need to match the lug bolt pattern between the old and new rims.

What info is on the sidewall of the tires?

That WILL NOT have anything to do with the lug pattern...


OP -
Go online to Forrest River, get contact info from there...have your vin# available..

Have you tried this: Wheel Bolt pattern

You'll need the measurement from center to center of two adjacent lugs. If that website doesn't work try searching for lug bolt pattern.
