Is there a Hub Stud Length Requirement for Americana Aluminum Mod Trailer Wheel AM22327

Question

Question:

As best that I have been able to determine my wheel studs or lugs on my boat trailer are .5inch x 20 x 1 7/8inch long. Are these studs long enough to mount this rim on? I notice that the rim does have a recess for the head of the bolt to seat itself in.

Helpful Expert Reply:

The 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.

I recommend using the Trailer Hub Wheel Stud item #7-122 to replace the wheel studs on your Load Rite boat trailer. These are a 1/2" diameter and 2" long.

A wider wheel would allow the tire to have a flatter surface across the top of it when inflated which might help a little bit with tire wear but realistically that difference is very miniscule. With the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load…

The more expensive lug nuts like the part #KALN1375S and #LHLR103 are made of stainless steel and the lower priced ones like #AM90049 are chrome plated. Stainless steel does not rust or corrode so it's the best choice. Chrome plated lugs will…

You can certainly use stainless steel lug nuts like the Kodiak #KALN1375S that you referenced on aluminum trailer wheels. Typically the only precaution you would need to take with aluminum wheels is making sure you get lug nuts that are bit longer…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
