Question:

I bought a tire and wheel package several months ago. I need the stainless lug nuts and the center caps for wheels. The trailer is a 5x8 enclosed unit by Avenger. About 20yo. How can I determine the correct lug nut/thread size?

Expert Reply:

In order to determine the correct lug nuts for your 5x8 enclosed trailer, you can use digital calipers like # PTW80157 and take the measurements shown in the image below. You are going to have to remove the hub to drive the wheel studs out. Once you have the measurements, let me know and I'd be more than happy to help find some lug nuts and replacement wheel studs for you.

However, if you're still using the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Lynx Aluminum Wheel # LHAW320, you can use the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Center Cap w/ Snap-In Plug # LHCS102-SI60C, and the lug nuts # AM90049.
