Question bolt pattern

I have a trailer with a 6 lug x 5.5 in. bolt pattern. This is a 15" rim. Do they make this bolt pattern in a 16" rim? I would like to change to 16" so I can run my old tires off of my truck. Thanks.

You'll find this bolt pattern on older Toyota 4X4s, (Landcruiser FJ/HJ 60 series) and a lot of other Japanese pickups like Mitsubishi L200 etc. There are a lot of aftermarket vendors for that too. The bolt pattern is called 6-139 or 6x139.7

You can get lucky on ebay with them, because most folks hate the steel wheels on the Landcruiser.

Lots of 16 inch, 6 lug with 5.5 bolt pattern. I recently upgraded my fivers wheels to aluminum 16 in Sendel wheels. I used a standard modular steel trailer wheel for the spare. Purchased all on ebay. PCM

I was thinking about that exact question yesterday. There are numerous 6-lug 16" Chevy wheels in both steel and aluminum. Not sure of the weight capacity of them but I'm pretty sure that they are the same lug pattern as the older Chevy/Toyota/Nissan trucks.

I do know that they sell the 16" 6-lug trailer wheels but they can be a bit pricey. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=260292184195

I've been thinking of switching my travel trailer from 15" to 16" so that I can utilize the same size (different lug pattern) spare on both truck and trailer. I think the 16s would wear better too.

Looked into the parts list yesterday- some Chevy K5 Blazers used the same bolt pattern. I don't know about your axle, but for the cars there were some different center hole sizes with this bolt pattern, and some were hub centered, some bolt centered.

I do know that the early 90's Chevy truck steel wheel had a smaller center hole than the older (mid-60's) Chevy trucks so that will be something to watch (or adjust as the case may be).
