Helpful Expert Reply:
For a 16" wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, like part # A16RTK6FPS, you are going to either be using 1/2" studs or 9/16" studs. If you have 1/2" studs, then the torque needs to be 90 - 120 ft/lbs but if they are 9/16" studs the torque needs to be 120 - 140 ft/lbs.
I have attached a chart for you to check out as well.
