Torque Specifications For Lug Nuts on Thirteen Inch Wheel
Question:
What are the torque specs for the lug nuts when pairing with a 13-inch rim and tire along with a 3,500 lb. Dexter axle? Also, what are the wheel stud and lug nut specs length, diameter, nut drive size, etc.?

Expert Reply:
The torque specs are dependent on the lug nut size.
If the lug nut is 7/16 inch the torque should be between 55 and 65 ft-lbs. For 1/2 inch it is 75-85 ft lbs. For 9/16 inch lug nuts the torque is 95-115 ft lbs and for 12 mm the torque should be between 70-80 ft-lbs. Finally, for 14 mm lug nuts the torque is 85-95 ft-lbs.
These specs are all based on a steel wheel and for wheels between 8 and 14 inches diameter.
