Expert Reply:

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 well.

If you need a torque wrench for this and future projects I recommend # ALL944001 which has 3/8 and 1/2 inch drives.
