Fit & Compatibility of Wheel That Uses 1/2 Inch Wheel Studs on a Trailer that Uses 7/16 Inch Studs

Question:

Replacing the wheels on an older Trailevator trailer which has the original split rims. Your AM20514 seems to be a match. I need a 15 X 6, 6 on 51/2, 3.65 pilot, and the my concern is the wheel bolt size which is 7/16 stud, 3/4 socket size, I think 5/8 inch hole. Would your wheel be compatible?

The best thing for you to do if you wanted to replace your current split rim wheel with the # AM20514, would be to also replace the wheel studs on your hub.

The studs on your current hubs should be able to be knocked out, working at the front side of the hub. That way, you would be able to compare your current studs to ones offered with the 1/2 inch diameter and replace them.

You can get a good idea of how the measurements are taken by looking at the diagram on the product page for 1/2 inch wheel stud # RG03-040.

I am including a link to all the 1/2 inch wheel studs we offer.
