Torque Spec on Lug Nuts for Aluminum Wildcat Trailer Wheel

Question

Question:

I just bought a 2024 Geo Pro 19FD and it has the Aluminum Wildcat Trailer Wheel - 15x6 Rim, 5 on 4-1/2, Item LH59VR - my question is what do I torque the nuts to? I cannot find anything that says what it is. I saw some YouTube video that said TT need to be torqued to 100 lbs. Is that a universal ? Thank you

Hi Mark; we use the torque spec chart below for lug nuts on trailer wheels. Since the # LH59VR is a 15" aluminum wheel that fits 1/2"-20 wheel bolts the correct torque spec is 90-100 ft.-lbs.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
