Question:

I’d like to pair these lug nuts with Goodyear Endurance, part Part Number: GY57QB. I believe this would require a 7/8 deep socket, and if using an impact socket, it would be thin wall socket? Is this correct? Has a 7/8 thin walled impact socket fit been confirmed? Just want to make sure before ordering three of the Goodyears and 15 lug nuts. Thanks.

Welcome back Jason. Yes, you are correct the Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut item # AM90070 does require a 7/8 thin walled deep socket when used on the 14" aluminum wheel that comes with the Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14 Radial Tire item # GY57QB.

The Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14 Tire w/ 14" Aluminum Wheel item # GY57QB has recessed lug holes so you can't get a standard impact socket inside of them. You also can't use a standard tire iron. I highly recommend getting a 7/8" thin walled deep socket, an extension, and socket wrench to keep in your trailer for emergencies.

The Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut item # AM90070 is sold individually and fits 1/2" wheel bolts with 20 threads per inch. It has a standard 60° cone and measures 2-3/32" long x 7/8" outer diameter.

I recommend picking up the Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap item # AM90175 for your Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14 Tire w/ 14" Aluminum Wheel item # GY57QB. This cap is sold individually and has a removable plug for easy maintenance. The pictures I attached below show this center cap and wheel tire combo installed.
