For the 1/2 inch lug nut #12CLN-L and the 14 inch aluminum wheels you will torque each lug nut to 75 to 85 foot pounds. No lubricant is required. However, since this is on a boat trailer and the hub studs are likely raw steel a little lube would help…

We have ST145/R12 trailer tires with a load range E, the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10140. If you wanted to go to a larger tire and wheel you could do so but you would need to ensure you have the needed clearance of about three inches from your trailer…

A 13 inch trailer wheel is likely going to use 1/2 inch lug nuts. The torque spec is the same for a 13 inch wheel whether it is steel or an alloy wheel; 75 to 85 foot pounds. I have included a picture with a handy chart with torque values for you as…

You are correct, the older tire size of 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 now translates to the current metric tire size of 215/60-8. When it comes to 215/60-8 tire on a 4 bolt wheel, we have two options for you, the Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch White…
