Default Rim bolt patern

Whats the rim bolt pattern for a 5 lug Cavalier Travel Trailer?
We want to put aluminum rims on it.

What truck/car aluminum rim will fit the 5 lug trailer?

Default Rims

To answer my own question; The rim pattern is 5 hole, 4.5 hole spacing with a 2" 3/4 center hole.

I bought a set of 15" steel Jeep Cherokee rims to replace the small 14" x 5.5" stock rims that came on my trailer.

Hmmm....those 14" trailer rims/tires are a stock item at Wal-Mart. I like that availability myself.

Just make sure that the rims have the air pressure and weight ratings to match the tires/axles of the trailer so that they are not overloaded.

They should be the same as what you take off, rating wise.

Default Rims

So far the 15" jeep cherokee rims have worked out better than the 14" stock rims, the back spacing on the jeep rims puts them in closer to the frame slightly an this has dramatically reduced my tire wear.
