Expert Reply:
Aluminum trailer wheels like the Loadstar part # AM31245 that you referenced have steel sleeves where the lug nuts contact which means you do not need to use different lug nuts from what you have now that you were using with your steel wheels. There would be no issues due to dissimilar metals.
