Thanks, @Hoopy Frood The problem was with the rim. The lug nuts were beveled on the inside and fit nicely in the original rim. With the spare rim the bevel was clearly visible when tightened down. So they did not quite fit into the rim. Torqued to 120 Ft# and retorqued after a few miles. I think flat lug nuts would have been a better fit for the spare's rim.

Thank you for the expanded answer. Personally, I wouldn't use that rim for anything. It sounds like it isn't actually a trailer wheel. Those would be a standard lug pattern and you wouldn't notice any of the bevel visible. Since these wheels center themselves using the lug nuts, and not the center ring on the hub, a flat lug nut is not a good idea as the wheel would stand a good chance of not being centered on the hub, leading to problems. That's my thoughts.

Thanks, Bill! Yes, the plan is to replace the rim before we take our rig out again. Bob

Your primary wheels are aluminum and use a conical (acorn) seat lugnut. All spares are mounted on painted steel wheels. They use the same lugnut but you will see some of the cone because there's no deeply machined seat on the steel wheel. When used by themselves, steel wheels get an open ended acorn lugnut with shallower cone but it's the same angle.

@MaddyBob -
Here are a few forum tips:
1) If you use "Reply With Quote" (to the right of "Reply") as I have here, folks will know to whom you are responding and that person will get a notification.
2) You can also tag folks using the "@" symbol and their user name (as I have done yours) - they'll also get a notification that way.
