Lug Nut Torque Range for 1/2-Inch Wheel Studs and Steel Trailer Wheels
Question:
I am in the process of purchasing two 2 Kenda 4.80-8c wheel/tire combinations from you. I am planning to replace the existing lug nuts with non-capped, 60-degree coned, ss ones. For the 1/2inch lugs that are currently on the trailer, what would be the correct torque for the new lug nuts?

Expert Reply:
The correct lug nut torque for any given trailer wheel depends on a few things. You can refer to the linked diagram that provides a range of values depending on the factors like stud size and wheel material. For 1/2-inch studs with coned lug nuts for steel wheels the torque range is 90- to 120-ft-lbs.
