torque question

[phoneguy]

Does anyone know the torque specs for the wheel lug nuts? I've got 5 studs with 13/16th's nuts. They're tight but I want to torque them to spec before our first journey with it. (bought it used) thanks

Mine are aluminum and I have them at 95ftlbs but I believe specs call for 105. Not sure what the specs are for steel but they should be higher

I use to torque to 95#, but I was having trouble with threads stretching. After replacing numerous studs and lug nuts, I have backed off to 85#. Nothing came loose on our last trip so it must be OK.
When I pull things apart this year I will see how the threads held up at 85#. If there is any stretching/pulling this time, I'm going to back it down to 80#

95lbs for me. I pulled the threads out on my car trailer. I've never had one back off and I check them every time before I pull out.

I just had the equiflex equilizers replaced and the shop over tightened the lug nuts. I had to replace seven studs, four snapped off when I tried to remove them.

Thanks, I know my wheels are steel so I will set them at 90 lbs and see how it goes
