That's what mine is. Assume it's the same Dexter 3500# Torflex axle as the folding Trailmanors.

Default Wheels

Mine has 6 holes on 5.5". I carry an extra wheel because when I had my first Good Year blow-out it ruined the wheel. You can find tires on a trip but not 15" -6 bolt wheels

Lightbulb 3023 used (uses?) the 5000 lb TorFlex

Mine 2619 was built 3023-like, and I'll SWAG that the 6-bolt hub was provided by Dexter as a "matching component" for that specific TorFlex model. I don't know the specific axle being used in modern TM builds. Incidentally, the TM-provided wheel on my "upgraded at build time" 2619 has the following DOT markings:

15x6 JJ 09 05 Max.2600LBS BW/ICA CHINA

"09 05" is almost certainly the date of manufacture (September, 2005). I don't know the meaning of "JJ". The offset of my wheel (measured without absolute precision) is within 1.5mm of ZERO. Measuring this offset was bit tricky, because the side which mounts against the hub has a "lip" of extra thickness, slightly to the inside of the metal. (The edge of the Hub hole is not as thick.) For matching 6-bolt 15" wheels, you almost certainly want to go with "small" or zero offset. Big values (e.g., 8mm) would definitely be wrong on my TM.

BTW, I'm ordering pre-mounted Maxxis tires on "pretty" wheels of that sort, as soon as I have saved this message.

The methods of specifying numbers on bolt patterns are crazy - or so it seems to me. Sometimes you measure the distance between adjacent holes, sometimes between alternate holes, sometimes between the center of one and edge of another. ??????

There are sites such as http://www.mrt-wheels.com/boltpattern.html that are helpful.

Default Agreed.

With odd numbers of bolts, there are several ways. With 6 bolts, however, it is generally agreed that the correct method is measuring between the centers of directly opposite bolt holes.

My wheels have 5.50 inches (= 139.7 mm) between centers. I'm quite confident that an Internet order of such wheels, 15*6" with minimal offset, will be fine. If you are also buying new ordering lug nuts (and it is recommended, by many sellers of tires, to always replace the lug nuts when you install new wheels): the size I have measured on my own is 1/2", 20 Threads per Inch. (NOT 12mm, NOT 14mm). But measure your own, this may have changed in more recent years.

Default 5-stud hub (14" tires?) in Houston

I had ordered the 5-stud hub off a different thread without checking my own trailer, and then discovered I have the 6 stud hub. Not sure if the difference has to do with trailer size and or tire size. I have a 3124 with 15" tires.

I now have the 6-stud hubs in hand with new bearings, seals and EZ lube dust covers, etc. So I have two 5-stud hubs in hand for a great price to any one close to Houston. I have hand packed the new bearings and set the inner bearing and seal. Let me know if anyone is interested. Larry
