Expert Reply:
I received a photo of your original 1/2-20 lug nut. I did not receive a photo of your steel rim/spare tire. That being said, it looks like the type of lug nuts you were using are mainly used on specialty wheels, which would explain why they won't work on your new/standard trailer wheel.
For a standard open ended 60 degree coned lug nut you can use # CE11051. This fits 1/2-20 wheel studs which is what you need.
