I wonder if you're needing a smaller lug nut like the 7/16"-20 CE Smith Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # CE11050. If your 1/2"-20 lug nuts have some play then the smaller option might be better. That or your studs are damaged and you need to replace them.
It would also be helpful to measure the diameter of your studs to make sure you have the correct application.
