Expert Reply:

Torque specs for trailer and vehicle wheels are based on the size of the wheel stud, the type of lug nut, and the material the wheel is made of, steel or aluminum. For example, the linked chart shows you the varying torque values for a range of larger wheel sizes based on these factors.

Without knowing more about your hubs and wheels I cannot give you a specific torque value, but it is likely that that spec would fall into the range of 75-80-ft-lbs.
