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.

A rim in and of itself is not rated for a specific psi. The valve stem is actually what determines the pressure a rim can withstand. You'll see some rims on our website that list a rating and that is because they include a valve stem. The…
