Trailer Lugnut Torque

[NavyDiver1980]

Hello All
I have been looking for the torque setting for the lugnuts on my trailer. I looked through all of the information that I have and cannot find it.

The trailer is a 2015 29RLI, aluminum rims, tires are ST225/75R15 Load range D Trailer Kings.

thanks everyone.

Although don't know who manufactured your particular wheels, these are generally accepted guidelines:

Basically 110-120 ft.lb. for 1/2" lugs. Torque values are usually expressed with clean dry threads.

I set torque mine to 120 ft lbs. by the HF occasionally has a torque wrench for sell at $11.00. works great.

Everything on my 238ML said 90-120 Lbs torque. I settled on 110 and after the first 6 trips or so they stay tight now. It would be easier for all of us if they burnished off the paint from the bolt holes on the painted wheels before they mount them.

Just returned from a 3500 miles trip. I torqued the lug nuts every day before moving the trailer. I always found 1 that was just a smidgen loose.
Thhis is a tip I picked up from someone else on this forum.:)
