Lug Nut Torque for a Trailer Wheel
Updated 06/04/2018 | Published 05/31/2018
Question:
I have a 4300 lb trailer with ST 205/75R15 tires. The wheels have 5- 1/2inch lugs. I believe the sticker on the rim says 90-120 ft/lbs. Could you please confirm this, Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:
90-120 ft lbs of torque is probably about right for your trailer rims. If you check out the lug nut torque chart that I attached you will see that nearly all of the torque specs are that and higher.
