Torque value for 16" Aluminum Rims

[Bob Vaughn]

We just had the tires replaced on our Big Country......I have looked at all the stickers on the 5th wheel and no where does it say what to torque the lug nuts to.......does any body know what it is or where to look to find the number....

I believe the number you are looking for is 110#

That's the air pressure. Is it also the lug nut torque? On edit, after doing a search it looks like 110 is the correct number.

It depends on the stud size.

1/2" is 110 ftlbs
9/16 is up to 140 ftlbs

I found the required torque number in my Heartland trailer manual. (120 ft.lbs for my rig/stud size)

I have found by going to the 140-150 pound range for 9/16 they don't come loose. You torque them once and check them every 1000 miles or more. Most of the F250-350 torque values are 160#'s for 9/16 studs.
