Question:
Will I need to replace the lug nuts that I have for steel wheels when switching over to aluminium?
asked by: James M
Expert Reply:
Unless your current steel wheels use a flange wheel nut like the # 95188, you won't need to replace the lug nuts when you switch to the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM22652B. With that being said, if your current lug nuts are showing signs of corrosion, you may want to consider replacing them.
If you do need to replace your lugs, for 1/2"-20 lug studs I recommend using the Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - Stainless Steel - 1/2"-20 - Qty 1 # AM26NR for 1/2 inch lugs or Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 1/2" (Each) # 12CLN.
