Helpful Expert Reply:
Since you have 14 inch trailer wheel the studs of your hubs would be 1/2 inch which is a very common lug nut size. You don't actually have to switch lug nuts to go from steel to aluminum wheels though (or vice versa). Aluminum wheels have steel inserts for the flange so there won't be an issue with dissimilar metals.
