Hi Brian!
For aluminum wheels like the Kenda Karrier KR35 ST185/80R13 LRC Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Black AM09 Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 # KE39TJ you got, I almost always recommend the DeeMaxx Trailer Wheel XL Lug Nut - Chrome - 1/2" - Qty 1 # DE23KR.
This has the 60 degree cone you need, fits the 1/2-20 lugs the wheel fits, but more importantly, it is narrower at the top than other options. Lugs are almost always a little recessed when you put aluminum wheels on and having a narrower top makes getting lug nuts on and off a lot easier. The single piece and fully closed style of this lug nut also means there is less chance of corrosion. It's a little expensive, but it's the one to get.
What kind of trailer are you installing these wheels on?
