Video Transcript for Americana Tires and Wheels AM90049 Review

Today we're going to review part number AM90049. This is the Americana 1/2 inch by 20 trailer wheel lug nut with the chrome-plated finish. The 1/2 inch by 20 designates the size of bolt that this will fit on; 1/2 inch is the diameter and the thread 20 means 20 threads per inch. Usually on most lug nuts they will be stamped. If you see on this one, it'll say 1/2 inch by 20 to let you know what size this is. This also has the standard 60-degree cone you can see here that will fit the 60-degree taper of the wheel you put it on.

It is a chrome-plated finish for durability and corrosion resistance. To give you a measurement on this; overall length of this lug nut is 1-3/4 inches and the hex head size or socket size you would need to use on this is 3/4 of an inch. I happen to have a deep-well 3/4 inch socket here, you can see it fits perfectly right on there. Just wanted to show you on your trailer wheel, most trailer wheels will just have a standard open-end small lug nut. This longer lug nut with the closed end you could put on there. It gives you a little bit longer reach, also a nicer finish, but the main advantage of using the longer lug nut is lots of times people will change from a steel wheel to an aluminum nice wheel and the aluminum wheels usually will have a deeper middle to where your lug nuts are so instead of having a shorter lug nut like this on it you need a longer lug nut so you can access it with your socket.

These longer lug nuts like this will work a lot better in the aluminum designed wheels. That should do it for the review on part number AM90049. This is the Americana 1/2 inch by 20 trailer wheel lug nut with the chrome-plated finish. .

I built my" tool shed" on a Triton aluminum trailer. I wanted doors on three sides. I do a lot of volunteer work at a Bible camp and it involves hauling my tools to the job. The trailer had 12x 4 inch wheels and I wanted something I more substantial to carry the load. I ordered the wheels and tires from etrailer. They came on time and we're exactly what I wanted. I have purchased other items from etrailer, and highly recommend this company



by:

Adds a bit of class to my utility trailer. They look good, in fact, they look really good on my new galvanized wheels. I used my extra long breaker bar to snug them into place. I'm ready to roll. My trailer thanks you.



by:

I recently purchased four wheels to upgrade my camper. Arthur, my etrailer tech support rep assisted with my questions and transaction. Arthur was very helpful, pleasant, knowledgeable and had the tech data available to help make the purchase easier. Sometimes buying over the phone assisted by a web site still leaves us wondering if we'll be getting what we expected. After receiving the wheels, caps and lug nuts I was very satisfied with the products. The wheels and style look great. I had new tires mounted on the wheels and the combo will definitely add to the appearance of my camper. From the time you order, delivery is very quick and the product is packed to prevent damage. I highly recommend etrailer.



by:

This is a project in the making. I noticed one of my OEM 2-piece wheel nuts had a split casing. I need to replace all 32 OEM nuts to avoid future problems. This order for 1 wheel nut was a test for my Dexter axle threaded studs. The fit and finish was perfect so I ordered 32 wheel nuts to complete my transition from 2-pc wheel nuts to solid ones. I’ll send photos when the change-over is complete. I’m thinking many other Grand Design RV owners may be facing a similar problem.



by:

Good looking quality lug nuts and fast shipping, what else can I say.



by:

I bought these lug nuts to compliment my new wheel/tire combo on my double jet ski trailer. The nuts have a nice chrome finish and appear to be high quality. 5 stars!



by:

I bought these closed end lug nuts to replace the old worn out open end ones on my EZ Loader Boat Trailer. These should protect the studs better and look a lot nicer. The fit was perfect 1/2-20 for my axle. These axle hubs were rebuilt by me and changed from oil hubs to grease hubs with new bearings, seals and Brake Buddies obtained from etrailer.com. I also purchased the nice aluminum wheels and upgraded Load Range D Kenda Karrier tires, 175/80R-13 already mounted from etrailer. I thought the price was very fair and I didn't have to mount the new tires on the ugly original galvanized wheels. Great customer service as always and the parts are good quality. Ignore the brown haze on the wheels, it is just a reflection. The wheels are spotless and shiny!

Perfect, no issues at all and they look nice and have protected the studs better than the small open ended lug nuts.



by:

EXACTLY what I ordered & received: Ten chrome plated 1/2"-20 American Trailer Wheel Lug Nuts. Promptly shipped. A perfect transaction.



by:

Great price. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is because I ordered 20 lug nuts and only received 5. The error was fixed quickly and the remainder of the lug nuts have arrived. Very fast response from them to my emails. I would definitely recommend this company



by:

Easy ordering, Quick shipping. the lug nuts appear to be well made and were reasonably priced



by:

Bought new rims for my trailer, They are high quality and look great.



by:

Replacing 2-piece wheel nuts on my 2019 Grand Design Solitude 5th wheel trailer. Bought one lug nut to confirm fitment before buying a full set of 32 to complete the change over. The fit and finish was as advertised, so I purchased a full set for my trailer's tandem wheels.



by:

These wheels(rims) were exactly what we we were looking for and we think this is a significant upgrade to our 2008 Jayco JayFlight G2 travel trailer over the original, somewhat worn old wagon wheel style rims that came with the trailer. The service from etrailer is just as important to this review as the wheels however.
We had a problem with one of the HiRun tires installed 5 yrs ago while we were on the road from North Carolina to Delaware. Upon closer inspection, and not being able to find DOT Codes, we decided to purchase new american made tires while on the road.
After sourcing the tires here near the beach in Delaware, I called etrailer and wound Talking to Tommy C. On Monday morning I ordered the four rims 4 center caps and 24 Lug nuts, and on WED.(!!!Missouri to Delaware in less than 48hours) they were at the tire dealers and ready to have the tires mounted on them. Friday on our way to the next stop we stop by the tire dealer, get the closest thing to a Pit-stop off with the old - on with the new, and up the road. Excellent Products with Outstanding Service!!!!



by:

Ordered the Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nuts on a Wednesday and received on Saturday, that was great. Used this chrome plated item instead of the capped lug nut I was replacing because of separation . This item is 1/4 inch longer but not a problem for me. Everything else was perfect.



by:

Expensive, but cover all the threads.
Perfect
for aluminum rims where the lugs are recessed into a machined area.
Have a 3/4" thin wall 6 point deep socket handy.
All 20 fit like a glove, no imperfections, and look like they'll last.
5 star except at $4 a pop I have $80 in lug nuts!!!



by:

These lug nuts really improved the looks over the smaller acorn type that my trailer came with. I like how the threads are not exposed anymore. I also found that it is very easy to scratch up your rims around the lug nuts with the lug wrench when you have the acorn nuts. These are much longer and the lug wrench does not even come close to rims anymore. They shine up nicely too. Nice way to upgrade the wheel area of your trailer.



by:

We have a Forest River Heritage Glann 5th wheel and a couple of the lug nuts were damaged over time with tire changing. My husband has been looking everywhere for replacement chrome lug nuts and nothing was the right size or the right thread count so we searched online with our specifications and etrailer popped up and since we have used this company before we trusted what we found would fix our problem. The Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut was near perfect. It is only slightly longer than the ones that are on there now and it blended right in, there is no way to tell it is different unless you get down and really look at it. We know that a lot of the items used to build our 5th wheel were cheap and probably not made in the USA and as we replace pieces, we feel that the quality is much better than what we have. We enjoy working with etrailer we usually find what we need and we do not have to deal with returns and we are up and running better than new.



by:

Did the job needed replacing the stainless capped factory lug nuts getting jammed up in socket upon installing or removing.



by:

Great looking lug nuts that match perfectly with the new rims.



by:

Awesome Service & Very knowledgeable, Thanks Again



by:

Received mismatched lug nuts. Some were about 1/2' longer then the others. Would look stupid mounted with mismatched lug nuts. Only reason for the low feedback.

I am sorry to hear that we messed up the order to start with. Thank you for reaching out about this. I will have our customer service team contact you so we can get you the correct lug nuts sent!



by:

Purchased an extra set of stainless lug nuts and an extra set of chrome plated lug nuts for my AM22319HWT wheels after noticing a couple of the original chrome plated lug nuts were showing signs of corrosion. Shipping was amazingly fast for standard shipping. Communication and customer service ahead of the purchase were also superb. I use my beloved classic Whaler in saltwater, so I can't truly expect trailer components to age as they would in freshwater. Wheels look great and have held up pretty well considering what I subject them to. All in all, very satisfied.



by:

EZ to order, lightning fast shipping, the chrome center caps and lug nuts look great on my trailer! This trailer is about 25 years old and was just repainted and had all of the wood deck and sides replaced. Of course I had to make the wheels look good too!!



by:

David L. Did a great job helping me find what i needed and the right size!!!!
A+ service



by:

These are very nice looking lug nuts, look great with new wheels I got from e-trailer

  • Lug Nut For Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel
    For the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 14" x 5-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - White Powder Coat # AM20365 use a standard 60-degree acorn lug nut, and either of the following will work: - Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - Chrome Plated - 1/2"-20 # AM90049 - Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 1/2"-20 - Stainless Steel # LHLR103

  • Recommended Lug Nuts for Star Mag 14 Inch Aluminum Wheel
    I'm sorry that happened and glad you are okay and the trailer isn't further damaged. That is brutal. It sounds like the lug nuts were not tightened down all the way. I haven't heard of any lug nuts that bottomed out and if so you would have seen the wheels not being connected well from the beginning of your trip even at low speed. My recommendation for your wheels which look like the Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM32195...

  • Difference Between the Higher and Lower Priced Trailer Lug Nuts
    The more expensive lug nuts like the part # KALN1375S and # LHLR103 are made of stainless steel and the lower priced ones like # AM90049 are chrome plated. Stainless steel does not rust or corrode so it's the best choice. Chrome plated lugs will eventually rust which normally manifests as the sockets stop fitting the lugs properly as the corrosion causes the lugs to "swell" and make them hard to deal with and eventually cause failure. If at all possible the stainless options are the way to go.

  • Torque for Loadstar Tire With Aluminum Wheel
    I have attached a sheet which shows the torque specs for wheels you can use when putting a tire and wheel. For 1/2" wheel bolts on a 13" aluminum wheel the torque is 75-85 ft.-lb. For lug nuts you can use the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # LHLR103 or Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # AM90049.

  • Will Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13 Aluminum Wheel Fit a Shorelandr Boat Trailer
    Yes, the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Aluminum Wheel # AM32001HWTB is a great choice for your Shorelander boat trailer. The wheel in this combo has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and will likely require different lug nuts because regular lug nuts are not long enough. For a longer lug nut use # AM90049 sold in quantities of 1. The price listed for the tire and wheel is for one tire and wheel combo.

    The backspacing of S3101 tire and wheel part # AM3S101 is 3 inches which is the distance from the wheel mounting flange of the hub to outside edge. This can be used with standard lug nuts and wheel bolts for trailers like the part # AM90049.

  • Recommended Wheels and Lug Nuts for a Load Rite Boat Trailer With ST205/75/R14 Tires
    For your Loadrite Boat Trailer with ST205/75/R14 tires, I recommend checking out the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Tire # AM34659.

    Thanks for all that info and yes, we can absolutely get you the correct hub for your Dexter 2,000 lb EZ-Lube axle that will accept a 12 inch wheel (which would be appropriate since it has the correct load rating). The correct hub is the following: - Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K This comes with the bearings, races, and grease seal so you don't have to purchase those separately.

  • Determining Lug Nut Size for Sendel Trailer Wheel
    It is likely that you will need a lug nut like the Americana # AM90049 that threads onto 1/2"-20 lug bolts. That being said, the wheel itself does not determine the necessary lug nut size. The best way to determine the correct lug nut is to remove one and take it to your local hardware store. They should have a series of bolt that you can test fit the nut on to determine the correct thread pitch and diameter. I have attached a review of the wheel and lug nut for your reference.

Going up one load range, to D from C, is not a problem and will not cause the tire to wear differently. Tires that wear in the center are normally over inflated.

  • What Is The Correct Lug Nut For A PJ Trailer With ST205/75-15 Tires?
    The 15" wheels will use a 1/2" 20 lug nut. This is standard for virtually any 15" 5 lug or 6 lug wheel/ hub combination. Now I am not sure exactly when your trailer was made, but anything made within the last few decades should stick to this standard. I recommend using a one-piece chrome lug nut like part # AM90049 or # 12CLN.
