What Is Torque Rating For A 1/2 Inch Stainless Steel Trailer Wheel Lug Nut

Question:

I purchased two tires and rims Karrier ST175/80R13 AM31959 with the stainless steel lug nuts KALN1375S. I was wondering what the torque setting should be when I install them onto my trailer.

The torque setting for the Kodiak Trailer Wheel Lug Nut, Item # KALN1375S, ranges from 90- to 100-ft-lbs. You will want to avoid using an impact wrench or similar tool because you can not measure the force being applied. For best results, use a torque wrench.
