Steel Lug Nut Inserts

Lionshead Aluminum Wheels with Steel Lug-Nut Inserts

This aluminum wheel comes with steel inserts in the lug nut wells. The inserts are pressed into the aluminum, and they help prevent the holes from wearing down over time. This ensures that the wheel stays secured to your trailer hub and that you won't have to constantly retorque the lug nuts.


Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.


Bolt Pattern - Odd

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)


Bolt Pattern - Even

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)


Bolt Pattern - Side

Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

  • If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
  • If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
  • If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
  • If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

I bought the tire and rim as a spare for my Aluma trailer. Luckily I have not had to use this.

I chose this wheel due to the fact it was half the price of my original, and I like the looks of it better than the original. Having now a mismatched set of wheels on a tandem trailer, I plan to order another so at least from one side of the trailer will look correct. Britney was awesome to work with and so helpful. Thank you Britney!



by:

I just ordered new Kenda Karrier Load Star tires and had them mounted on these Lionshead wheels. I also purchased chrome wheel lug nuts, and the chrome hub covers. The final combo looks pretty good. The only thing I have to pick up are a couple of sets of McGard Locking Lug nuts. I'll have to purchase those from a different vendor, because etrailer doesn't sell McGard products, but thats ok. Can't wait to hit the road with the trailer. The trailer has taken on a new appearance, And the new E rated tires should perform really well.



by:

We were on the road when the original rim cracked on our VanLeigh. We ordered this replacement which was sent in a box two-three times the size of the rim with a couple pieces of packing paper. The rim slid around in the box with little to no protection. Though the rim, at this time, will work, I expected more from etrailer. Sending wheels in a box two-three times the size of the wheel is unacceptable. Do better etrailer!



by:

Only place I could find my exact wheel for my trailer ! Shipped earlier than expected. The down side was when the wheel got here the lip was all scratched up. I was let down as this is a new product should be in new mint condition but fresh out the box it was under scratched up. Read this on a previous review but didn’t think much about it. Just be cautious as your product may not be in new perfect condition when you get it….. for 220 dollars you expect new condition not seconds with imperfections



by:

These rims look better in person, than in the picture. I am very happy with the look on the trailer, and they are designed to hold the load rating I need.



by:

First of all Teresa was great. She answered all my questions , researched information concerning the wheel. Bottom line she is an asset to your company And well deserving 10 stars. Product was exactly how she described it and I’m very satisfied with the order. Thank you Teresa , stay safe.



by:

The tire is excellent and I'm very excited to have it on my home!



by:

This wheel was received quicker than anticipated! It matches our current rims almost to a “T”



by:

As always! Great products. Super fast shipping and great prices. Thank you again.



by:

Easy ordering, prompt shipping and delivered when promised. We've used eTrailer numerous times and have always been extremely satisfied with selection and service.



by:

Due to needing a new wheel for our camper, called Customer Service, and spoke with Nicole, very friendly and helpful, was able to ship the new wheel overnight to the service station we were camping near. Excellent service from Etrailer.



by:

Had these wheels shipped to my hotel in time for my return home to New Zealand the following day. With clear communication Crystal S handled my order with true professionalism.
These wheels were truely meant for my home built all aluminium trailer.
Thank you so much Crystal S and eTrailer.



by:

the finish on the wheels is great. So glad to have the 17.5 upgrade over the factory 16" wheels.



by:

I ordered on Monday from Madison two wheels for my horse trailer. She was very helpful and my order was shipped within two hours. Scheduled to arrive Friday but showed up Thursday a day early. Madison is my goto girl.



by:

I bought complete brake assemblies, drums, bearing and wheels. I am not a computer guy, but you have a fantastic website and sales staff. They are friendly and am pretty much blown away by etrailer. No one else does it like this.



by:

The wheels you sent does not match the description you have the correct diminutions!! I order wheels that were 15 X 5" as you listed. The wheels I received are 6" wide from the inside of the rims!!



by:

It was a very easy find and order on the website. Arrived on time and was very well packaged. Same experience in the past with etrailer!



by:

I ordered the wheel so I can build a spare tire for my trailer. It's a perfect match and the customer service was fantastic. Great company to do business with.



by:

The product is great! These will look great on our boat trailers. I will be buying again.



by:

As always, a very pleasant transaction.
The representative that I worked with was very knowledgeable and accurate.
I received my order in a timely manner, correct product, and in good condition.
I would recommend etrailer without reservations.
Thank you.

  • Upgrading 4.80-12 Wheels and Tires on Triton PWC Trailer For Better Highway Trips
    A radial tire like the Taskmaster 4.80R12 # TT48012C is a lot better for longer trips. The radial construction is ideal for highway use as it will run cooler than a Bias # AM30670 tire like you have. It also has a much higher speed rating of 81mph while your tire is most likely limited to 55mph. Personally I prefer using an aluminum Wheel # LH45FR on a boat trailer as it will better resist corrosion. It will also help to keep the tire cooler since aluminum is better at dissipating heat....

  • Switching From 4.80-8 to 4.80-12 Trailer Wheels and Tires With a 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern
    First, I do recommend verifying exactly how much clearance you have. The Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670 you are looking at is 20.7" tall while your Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM30020 is 16.1" tall. The 4.6" difference will be 2.3" loss of fender clearance. It is recommended to have 3" of vertical clearance for suspension travel with the taller tires. The wheel that comes on the set above is lug piloted and will center...

  • Can 12 Tire and Wheels be Upgraded to Larger Size for Better Ground Clearance for Axle
    If your current 12" wheels use a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern then you should be able to upgrade to a 205/75R14 size tire provided that you have enough fender and frame clearance. I recommend using the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Tire # AM10235 with the Galvanized Wheel # AM20364 which has an overall diameter of 26.3" and a section width of 8.1". We recommend having at least 4" of clearance for your fender (to account for suspension flex) and at least 2" between the sidewall of the tire...

  • What Is The Speed Rating On The Kenda Karrier Trailer Tire.
    I went out to the warehouse to look at the tire myself just to be sure. The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D # AM31199DX does have a speed rating of M. It was 81 mph to be exact. The Kenda S-Trail ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM31202 probably came from a different location of manufacture that either doesn't stamp them the same or has not been updated yet. They also have a speed...

  • Is Pilot Hole On Aluminum Trailer Wheel An Issue Fitting Trailer Hub If It Is Larger Diameter
    A larger pilot hole on a wheel like part # LH45FR will not pose a problem if the wheel is held in place with the lug bolts. The only time the pilot hole would be an issue is if it is smaller than the trailer hub diameter or if you use bolts to attach the wheel and the wheel fits more snug around the hub. This is defined as hub-piloted. All of the 12-inch wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern we offer have the same sized pilot hole of 3.19 inches diameter.

  • Replacement Wheel Availability for a Malone Micro Sport Kayak Trailer
    We don't carry the part number you are looking for but I was able to determine that the wheel and tire you are looking for is basically a 4.80-12 sized tire like the # AM10062 mounted to a 12 inch trailer rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that is very similar in appearance like the # LH45FR. We don't have this size tire already mounted on an aluminum wheel. Once these arrive, you can have them mounted at a local shop.

  • Chrome Center Cap to Use with 12 inch Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel and Tire
    The Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # LH45FR that you referenced uses a center cap that has a 3.19 inch diameter like the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Center Cap w/ Snap-In Plug # LHCS102-SI60C which is chrome like you are wanting.

  • Does the LH45FR Come with Lug Nuts and Center Caps
    I have a solution for you, but the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # LH45FR does not come with lug nuts or center caps. For lug nuts you can use the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 1/2" (Each) # 12CLN and for center caps you can use the Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Stainless Steel - 3.19" Pilot # AM90175. I've also linked our entire selection of center caps with a 3.19" pilot diameter in case you're looking for something different.

  • Do Aluminum Trailer Wheels Require Special Lug Nuts
    Aluminum wheels actually have steel inserts where the lug nuts touch them so there is no need for an adapter and you can just bolt the wheel right up. I don't know what size wheel you are looking for but I attached a link to all the aluminum wheels we carry.

    We do have a nice selection of ST145/R12 tire and wheel sets that will work great on your 2012 Triton Trailer.

The aluminum wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and a sharp star spoke design. For the Load Range D options, a lot will depend on the type of wheel you are looking for.

  • How To Determine Fit of the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire and 12 Aluminum Wheel
    The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10140 will fit on the # LH45FR wheel. This wheel is designed to be used with 5 on 4-1/2" trailer hubs which are the most common. In regard to weight, both the tie and the wheel have a 1,520 lb capacity so on a tandem axle trailer that gives you 6,080 lbs which is plenty. Therefore, if the size is correct, they will work well for you. In regard to lug nuts, you'll need the long acorn closed style part # AM90049...
