Wheel Lug Nut Torque

[kab449]

What Torque is recommended for my 2017 Bighorn with 16" load range G tires and Alloy Wheels?

It should be 120 ft lbs.

Thank you Rex.

1/2" studs 120
9/16" studs 140

Is there a way to tell whether you have the 1/2 or 9/16 inch studs? I imagine that to my old eyes, 1/16th of an inch would not be that noticeable - albeit I have not checked .

My 9/16 take a 7/8 socket

It will be printed on the lug nut. You may be able to see it without taking one off. My alloy wheel, even though they are 9/16, are 120 lbs.

They are 9/16" studs and the factory recommended torque (in the 2017 manual, page 30) is 120 ft.lbs. th

They also show you the recommended tightening pattern.

Thanks to all. That 120 on the cover is what was blowing my mind - I thought I had 9/16 studs and have them torqued to 120.
