Only place I have ever encountered 5 point is on a fire hydrant.
Your studs on the hubs are 1/2-20 thread and are most likely 13/16, however
you need to see what they used to secure the spare. A 1/2-20 thread nut is 3/4 hex and even some lugnuts are. I encountered that situation on my Sasquatch trailer (see my signature) and when I replaced the wheels I installed a matching alloy spare and used standard lugnuts to secure it to the bracket.
My original wheels had deep recesses for the lugs and required thin wall 6 point socket to get on the hex sufficiently.
My new wheels have much larger recesses, that were shallower (thus more meat under the lugs) and I used new lugnuts that were taller with more hex on them.
