Your tire should mount via 1/2"-20 lugs like what we see with the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM30660. For this size and style (steel) of wheel you need to torque the lug nuts to be inside the 75-85 ft-lbs range.
I'm attaching a chart we have which shows the various torque ratings for different wheel styles and sizes.
