    Hey I was just wondering if anyone who has built or owns a off road trailer can help solve my issue. The trailer i bought was setup for a jeep and the hubs on the trailer match the jeep lug pattern so only one spare needed for both. Well I am towing with a 2021 Toyota Tacoma Off Road and have been beating the net trying to find a solution to where I can convert/replace the hubs with a 6 lug Toyota pattern. Here is what I have found so far current hub is a 5 x 127, Toyota lug pattern is 6 x 139. The standard trailer 6 lug is 6 x 5.5". The Toyota 139mm converts to 5.472" a .028" difference. Don't think that will work. Any ideas? Cannot find hubs in metric bolt patterns. Have not found 5 to 6 lug adapters that would work and don't really want the problems that come with the adapters.

    Thanks for any help!!

    You'd probably have better luck replacing the whole axle with the correct hubs already on.

    Would gladly replace whole axle if I could find one with the Toyota lug pattern. No luck as of yet!

    I don't think the one with .028" difference would make much of a difference, that's only .014" on each side if you get it centered :D

    For my friends in Cuba this would be just a minor adjustment.

    Just look at the build thread
    6x5.5 will fit fine

    Let's go with 6 x 5.5 for $300 Alex...........

    What is the correct lug pattern spec for a 6 lug Tacoma?

    Sorry I used tire rack specs for my truck and they called for 139mm. Guess they did not think the .7 was important!!
    Thanks for the help. Last thing I want is a wheel coming off hundreds of miles from civilization.
