Question:

I have one lug nut I can not get to thread on the wheel. Can you tell me what type thread they are? I bought a m12 1.50 and it doesnt seem right. If that is correct, then it must be the bolt. I am not sure if I should force it to tighten. I am afraid of damaging it. Both the one I had and the one I bought get about 1/2 in the but then lock up.

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # LHLR103 you're looking at will fit on 1/2" wheel bolts, and has 20 threads per inch.

If you have metric wheel bolts you'd need to use lug nuts that are also metric or swap out your current wheel bolts with more standard sized wheel bolts like the Replacement Wheel Stud, Screw-In # 25-53 which have the same 1/2" x 20 threads as the lug nuts you were looking at.

This would by far be the easiest solution as you're going to have a much harder time finding matching metric lug nuts in the US.
