In order to determine what to torque the lug nuts on your 14" trailer wheels, you will need to know what size the lug studs on your hubs are. I've attached a helpful chart that will give you the torque specs for a variety of different wheels but you will need to use a dial or digital calipers to measure the diameter of the stud and then torque accordingly.
