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.
