wheel nut torque specs

[f150k]

I have 2013 Rockwood 8282WS 5th wheel what should the rims be torque too?
I was told 95 to 100 ft lbs and also 115 ft lbs

110 is around the right setting I go by. Don't just torque and never check them again.
Check your wheels before, and during every trip as you check your air pressure.
Don't over torque because every tire you put on, down the road you will need to take it off....

Depends on stud size and whether steel or alum wheels.

Attached chart is for alum wheels.

100 does it for me. It took a couple thousand miles before they completely locked in place.

and....
If you happen to have a Harbor Freight nearby, they sell Torque Wrenches at a VERY reasonable price (Like under $20 reasonable price!)

I've got 16" wheels and mine are 100 ft/lbs.

I have 15" alum rims, does that help?

Rim size makes no difference, it is the stud size that determines the torque. Better to go half way between min and max. If I were using the cheap torque wrenches from HF or NT, I would go to the max listed. I have a calibrated Williams, so I go to the center, which is 110lb/ft for 1/2" studs.

It looks to be 1/2, I used a 3/4 deep socket on the lug nuts, does that help?

Not really, take a 7/16" socket and see if it will fit over the stud, if not, try a 1/2" socket. If the 1/2" fits over the stud, then you have 1/2" studs and torque them to 110 lb/ft.

3/4" wrench equals 1/2" stud. 90-120 lb/ft on aluminum wheels.

Mine are 1/2" studs and uses a 13/16" socket a 3/4" will not fit.

Here is where I got my info. Been using this chart for years.

Agree, but wheel studs & nuts are not always the same especially when it comes to alum wheels.

What size socket do the aluminum wheels need? Is the spare a different size? Is a deep socket required or will standard depth work?
