Expert Reply:
If you have 8" diameter wheels on your boat trailer with 1/2" lug studs then I can confirm that the lug nut torque specification will be from 75-85 ft.-lb. Since your lug nuts must be torqued regularly, it is a good idea to keep a torque wrench on hand as opposed to just renting one each time so if you don't have one, I recommend the Powerbuilt Beam-Type Torque Wrench part # ALL644044. We also have the lug nuts you need as well, part # CE11051 which are zinc plated so they will be best for a boat trailer.
