Lug Nuts For Kodiak Stainless Steel Trailer Hub for 3,500-lb Axles

Question

Question:

Hello. I am interested in purchasing item KH84545S. But I notice the stud length is a bit longer than AKIHUB-545-35-G-K which is what I have. What stainless lug nuts do you have that will fit KH84545S. Thank you

Hey Joey, welcome back! The Kodiak Trailer Hub # KH84545S uses 1/2"-20 wheel studs, so the thread size is the same as what you're used to. Since these studs are 1.69" long, fitment really depends on how thick the mounting pad is on your wheels.

I expect the DeeMaxx Stainless Steel Lug Nuts # DE46NR to work since they're 1-7/8 long. Another option is to use an open-end 1/2"-20 lug nut so the studs can pass through without bottoming out. However, we don't carry any open-end stainless options at this time.

Thanks for the reply. Would I be able to change out the studs on it with the studs from the AKIHUB-545-35-G-K and use my current lug nuts?

@JoeyN it's possible, but I don't have the knurl diameter specs for the studs on the Kodiak hub to confirm they're the same. If the knurl diameter and overall dimensions match your current studs, you should be able to swap them over and reuse your existing lug nuts. Otherwise, you'd need to stick with lug nuts that fit the Kodiak studs.

Hey Joey! Our own etrailer branded hubs like #AKIHUB-545-35-G-K only come with the galvanized or standard finish. For a stainless steel idler hub you need the Kodiak #KH84545S. This does not come with bearings so you can use #BK2-100 for a complete…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…
