The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, part # 8-174-5UC3, includes the lug nuts and rim clamps that hold the wheel on to the hub. The lug nuts are part # 916N and have a 9/16-inch fine thread.

The replacement stud that is installed in the hub portion of the # 8-174-5UC3 hub and drum assembly is the Screw-In Wheel Stud, part # 25-11. This stud has lug nut end thread size of 9/16-inch fine thread and the hub end thread size of 9/16-inch coarse. The coarse end of the stud is what screws into the hub.

We actually have a few 1/2"-20 lug nuts available, such as the Lionshead # LHLR103. I've linked our full selection of 1/2" lug nuts available below that you can look through as well.

@ChrisR The products you listed are the cone type lug nuts. Mine do not have a cone. They look like a regular nut with a 7/8 hex 1/2x20 thread. The cone type lug nuts do not work with the wedge type wheels. I would use a regular nut, but I can't seem to find a 1/2x20 thread nut with a 7/8 hex.
