Video Transcript for Redline Tires and Wheels 12CLN-L Review
Today we're going to review part number 12CLN-L. This is the 1/2 Inch by 20 Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut. Now this lug nut is designed to fit 1/2 inch by 20 bolts and basically that means the diameter of the bolt is a half inch, and it has 20 threads per inch. If you notice, this lug bolt also has a 60 degree cone on it, and that's designed to fit the 60 degree taper on the wheel. Overall length on this lug nut, this is an extra long, so it's about 1 and 7/8 inches long, and it does require a hex head size or a socket size of 3/4 of an inch. I happen to have a deep well 3/4 socket here, and you can see it fits on perfectly.
Also on most aftermarket lugs you can see they do stamp the size on the lug, itself, to let you know the size of it, 1/2 inch by 20. Now I just want to show you, you can use these on your normal trailer wheel. Sort of move out a little bit, and normally your trailer wheels will come with just this small open end lug nut to hold the wheel into place. You can go to these longer lugs and you can see it gives you more to grip onto with your socket, and they are closed end. The other nice thing about these longer lug nuts like this, is a lot of your aluminum wheels, your aftermarket, nice aluminum wheels, they have a, where the lugs are, they have a very deep access to get to the lug and lots of times when you use just the standard little bitty lug, when it falls in there it's hard to get to and sometimes it's too wide, so the socket won't fit in there. So what it is recommended, is on a lot of the aluminum wheels, is to go to a longer lug like this, that'll drop into that, and this part will pretty much be almost flush to the top. Then it's only a 3/4 inch hex head size so your socket can usually get in there and access it.
But that should do it for the review on part number 12CLN-L, 1/2 Inch by 20 Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut. .

Purchase a set of 20 to replace those on my trailer that have rusted after 8 years. Looks good and easy to remove with a deep 3/4" socket. I tend to put a drop or two of oil inside the wheel lug nut prior to screwing onto the wheel bolt to prevent it from rusting solid on the wheel bolt. 124256
Comments
The wheel lug nuts still look like new after a year of use. I just recently removed them to besure that they didnt rust onto the bolt and they all came off easy. Put a couple s of oil back on the bolt and retighten the lug nuts.

The lug nuts on my travel trailer were a nightmare. I had to buy a thin wall socket just to get at them, and even then, it was difficult to get a purchase on them. I ordered replacements from etrailer, and not only are they superior in quality, but they are longer, which makes them easy to work with and to torque. The agent was able to locate my make and model and insure that I received the correct part. Very happy. 87462

These are very poor quality item. They have been on for less than a year and under cover. The shells are rusting badly. I think they saw rain once. I am going to replace them with something else. Buy a solid nut with out a cheap shell. 864682

- Can Lug Nuts On a Boat Trailer Be Lubricated for Easy RemovalI have never personally put grease on either the lug nut or lug stud but I have heard of others who have without issue. If you were to reach out to the manufacturer they would also say not to put grease on either the lug nut or lug stud but this is mostly just preference. If you clean the lug nut and the lug stud thoroughly beforehand and do not over-torque then you should not have too much issue with removal. If you switch to a closed acorn style lug nut, part # 12CLN-L these are less...
view full answer... - Lug Nuts Made From Stainless Steel That Fit 1/2 Inch Wheel BoltsWe do have lug nuts that fit 1/2 inch wheel bolts which are made from stainless steel, but the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # 12CLN-L you asked about is made with a chrome plating. I recommend checking out instead the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # LHLR103 which is made entirely from stainless steel. I have added a link to a video review of this lug nut for you to check out.
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # 12CLN and # 12CLN-LThe only difference between the 1/2 Inch Lug Nut, # 12CLN and # 12CLN-L is the length of each. Both are bulge style which means they have a 60 degree tapered end. The inside depth of 12CLN is 1-1/4 inches. The inside depth of 12CLN-L is 1-3/4 inches.
view full answer... - Availability of 2-1/2-Inch Long Lug Nuts with 1/2-inch Diameter and 20-TPI ThreadsWe do offer a longer 1/2-inch diameter 20-TPI lug nut, part # AM90070 from Americana, but this nut's overall length is 2-3/32-inches, a bit short of your existing 2-1/2-inch lug nuts. This is currently the longest such item offered in your required 1/2-inch diameter and 20-thread-per-inch thread pitch.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Lug Nuts To Match Current SizeWe have the Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 7/8" Diameter - Stainless Steel - 1/2" - 20 # AM90070 which have the same look, threading, and outer diameter. The length of the nut is the only difference. Your current lug nuts are 1-7/8 inches and what we carry are 2-3/32 inches so they are a little over 1/4 inch longer. That won't be extremely noticeable and will allow you to use the same lug wrench.

- What are the Right Lug Nuts for an 8-Lug Aluminum Trailer WheelIt looks like you have a split spoke aluminum wheel that is not unlike the wheels we carry. For the 8-lug wheels that are similar to yours we recommend trailer wheel lug nut # AM90054 which does have the proper 1/2 inch -20 size and the standard 60-degree cone. If you were using flat lug nuts then those are not going to work as well. You could also use the longer lug nut # 12CLN-L if you want because it does have the correct threads and 60 degree cone.

- Replacement 1/2"-20 Lug Nut for 17 inch Rims on LQ Horse TrailerThe Redline Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # 12CLN-L fits 1/2 inch diameter studs with 20 threads per inch and should be a good replacement for the lugnuts on your LQ horse trailer. The 60 degree cone on the end is designed so that it fits with the 60 degree taper on the wheel. The 1-15/16 inch length of this lug nut, like you mentioned, falls short of the 2.5 inch lug nut you are replacing. If you would like to get closer to the same length, the Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # AM90070...
view full answer... - Replacement Lug Nut Recommendation for Lugs Stamped G 1/2 RH/TBased on the size you listed you would want to use the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # 12CLN-L that you referenced. The 1/2 of the size you listed indicates it's for a 1/2 inch stud and the RHT stands for right hand thread.
view full answer... - Looking for 2 Inch Long 1/2-20 Lug Nut Removable w/ 13/16 SocketThe only lug nut we offer that could be removed with a 13/16 socket is part # AM90054. The lug nut is compatible with 1/2 inch wheel studs and has a 20 threads per inch thread pitch, and is 1-1/4 inches long. It's a little shorter than what you said what you were looking for, but it would work for you.
view full answer... - Does Load Range of 225/75R15 Trailer Tire Affect DurabilityThat is a good question and it is certainly reasonable to think that might be the case but it actually is not. A ST225/75R15 trailer tire with a load range of D such as the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10256 will last just as long and perform just as well as its equivalent with a load range of E, the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10303. Generally speaking, the higher the load range of tire, the more expensive, so as long as the...
view full answer... - How To Determine the Correct Size Lug Nuts For a TrailerThe three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for individual trailers. I have attached a few options based on the lug stud size below. The 1/2"-20 studs are used on small-medium duty trailers whereas the 9/16"-18 and 5/8"-18 lug studs are used on larger duty trailers. Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut 1/2"-20 Closed...
view full answer... - Recommended Lug Nuts for Star Mag 14 Inch Aluminum Wheel I'm sorry that happened and glad you are okay and the trailer isn't further damaged. That is brutal. It sounds like the lug nuts were not tightened down all the way. I haven't heard of any lug nuts that bottomed out and if so you would have seen the wheels not being connected well from the beginning of your trip even at low speed. My recommendation for your wheels which look like the Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM32195...

- Recommended Lug Nuts for Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Tire w 16" Lynx Aluminum WheelIn order to use the Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Tire w 16" Lynx Aluminum Wheel part # LHAX425 you'll need the long acorn style closed lug nuts, part # 12CLN-L for 1/2" studs or part # LHLR110 for 9/16" studs. Furthermore, you'll need a 7/8" socket possibly one with thin walls known as a lug nut socket. If a regular 7/8" socket doesn't work you can get the lug nut socket from a local auto parts store.
view full answer... - Torque Spec for 1/2-20 Lug Nuts on 14 Inch Aluminum Boat Trailer WheelsFor the 1/2 inch lug nut # 12CLN-L and the 14 inch aluminum wheels you will torque each lug nut to 75 to 85 foot pounds. No lubricant is required. However, since this is on a boat trailer and the hub studs are likely raw steel a little lube would help keep corrosion at bay. There isn't a specific product I would recommend since they all do about the same job. If you need a torque wrench we have # ALL944001 which is a basic torque wrench rated from 10 up to 150 foot pounds.

- Recommended Lug Nuts for Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13 Inch Aluminum WheelYes, the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Aluminum Wheel part # AM3S158 will require long acorn style lug nuts which we offer, the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut part # 12CLN-L.

The recommend lug nuts are either # 12CLN or # 12CLN-L. They are sold in quantities of 1. Lug nut # 12CLN-L will be the easier one to get a tool on to tighten/loosen because it is longer. For center caps we have stainless steel options, # LHCS108-SI60C, and # LHCS108. We also have a chrome option, # 425EZ. All of these center caps feature snap-in plugs at the ends for...
view full answer... - Difference Between # AM90049 and # 12CLN-L Lug NutsOther than some slight cosmetic differences, functionally speaking both lug nuts you mentioned are identical. Both will fit a 1/2 inch wheel stud with a 20 threads/inch thread pitch, and can be tightened or loosened with a 3/4 inch lug wrench.
view full answer... - Long 1/2 Inch Chrome Lug Nuts for a 2005 Hitchhiker 5th Wheel TrailerSince your old lug nuts were 2 inches long, I recommend using # 12CLN-L which has an overall length of 1-15/16 inches, close enough to call it a 2 inch long lug nut. I do not recommend the use of an impact wrench, not because of the damage like you have experienced but because the lug nuts should be torqued to a specific amount. For a 1/2"-20 it should be 75 to 85 foot pounds.
view full answer... - Recommended Aluminum Wheels With Chrome Cap And Lug Nuts For Pop-up CamperThe Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM31998 are really nice combinations with a load rating of 1,610 lbs at 65 lbs and a ply rating of 8. These wheels are not offset at all, like most trailer wheels, so you won't see a difference in location on your 1999 Rockwood pop-up camper. For your shiny lug nuts, I recommend the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 1/2" - Qty 1 # 12CLN-L and for the center cover the Trailer Wheel Center Cap,...
view full answer... - Lug Nuts for Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14 Inch Aluminum WheelYou will have to use a thin-walled tool because of the limited space, The # AM90070 lug nut has a 7/8 inch diameter. The # 12CLN lug nut is a small 3/4 inch so # AM90070 would have even less space. But it is longer so you would be able to get a tool on the end of the nut without a special thin-walled tool. You could also use # 12CLN-L. It is not as long as AM90070 but has the same head size.
view full answer... - Is the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire Mounted and BalancedFor the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire, # AM32151, it does come mounted on the wheel. The manufacturer will have the heavy spot in the tire matched with the light spot in the wheel, so it is balanced in a sense. But trailer tires are not balanced like car tires are, basically because they do not have to be. You will need 1/2 inch lug nuts like # 12CLN-L (sold in quantities of 1).
view full answer... - Wheel Lug Nut fir a 2005 24’ Haulmark Cargo Trailer with 15 inch 6 Bolt WheelsFor 15 inch trailer wheels with a 6 bolt pattern you are looking at 1/2"-20 lug nuts such as # CE11051 for a standard lug nut with 60 degree cone. If you have aluminum wheels then you will likely need a longer nut such as # 12CLN-L.
view full answer... - Length and Inside Depth of the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 1/2 Inch # 12CLNThe overall length of the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 1/2 inch, item # 12CLN, is 1.364 inches. The overall depth of the lug nut from the farthest out part of the lugnut to the deepest point inside is 1.25 inches. We also have the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut, # 12CLN-L, which is 1.882 inches overall length and 1.70 inches deep.
view full answer... - Is there a Hub Stud Length Requirement for Americana Aluminum Mod Trailer Wheel AM22327The studs on the hub should be long enough to mount the Amricana wheel # AM22327 but you will need to use longer lug nuts such as # 12CLN-L because regular lug nuts will be too short and it will be difficult to get a socket on them.

This does not completely balance the tire and wheel combination but it does eliminate any excessive out of balance condition. In most cases this method of lining up the high and low...

- What Parts are Needed to Use With the 13 Inch HWT Star Mag Trailer WheelThe HWT Star Mag Trailer Wheel, part # AM20258, will not include the center cap, the lug nuts, or the valve stems. The center cap that will fit the Star Mag wheel is the Trailer Wheel Center Cap, Chrome, part # 319EZ, or the Trailer Wheel Center Cap, Stainless Steel, part # LHCS102-SI60C. The center cap will install by inserting the cap through the back of the wheel. The lug nuts that will work on the Star Mag wheel are the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut, part # 12CLN-L.

The Lynx trailer wheel part # LHSL311B has a 4.25 inch pilot diameter so the wheel center cap part # 425EZ would fit. The EZ lube grease cap part # RG04-010 is a standard size grease cap plug for EZ lube spindles so it should work fine as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Wheel Studs and Lug Nuts for a 2011 Crossroads Cruiser 5th Wheel TrailerThe first thing to check is if the hubs have studs that are driven in or that are threaded in. Stud # K12WB2 is a drive-in type so if you have ones that thread in it would not work. If they are drive-in then you will want to check the picture I have included that shows all the measurements to determine if they will fit properly in the hub. This stud takes a 1/2"-20 lug nut such as # CE11051. This is an open-ended lug nut so the additional length of the studs would not be a problem....

- Lug Nuts Backed Out and Caused Trailer Tires to Come OffThat is certainly a scary situation! If the studs on the hubs are long enough then it is possible they are not getting tight enough but if that was the case you should notice at least some play between the wheels and lug nuts or hub surface. We do have longer 1/2 inch lug nuts, # 12CLN-L, which are 1-3/4 inches deep (1/2 inch longer than # AM90054). If stud length is the issue then the deeper lug nuts would be the way to go. You do not have to purchase a special hub to use the wheels....
