The correct lug nut torque range for any given trailer depends on several factors include the lug diameter, lug nut type and wheel material. Please refer to the linked chart that shows the usual recommended torque range for a variety of combinations.

For example, the first listing on the chart, for 1/2-inch studs, coned lug nuts on a 15-inch steel wheel, the correct range is 90- to 120-ft-lbs.
