Wheel lug torque setting

[petergauthier]

I have a 44' Cyclone 5th wheel with 16" steel rims. The tires are Sailun ST235/80R16 and the studs are 9/16". What is the torque setting for the lug nuts?

 

[jnbhobe]

130 to 140 is good

 

[travelin2]

I do mine at 150

 

[hoefler]

9/16" studs is 140 lb-ft
1/2" studs is 125 lb-ft

The Heartland Owners Manual states the lug nut torque is 120 ft-lbs. That's where I've always set our Cyclone wheels.

I use an extension on my torque wrench, so I set mine at 125.

Hi. This makes me feel like an idiot (which I actually am) for asking, but what is the socket size for the lug nuts on a 17.5 inch Landmark wheel?

 

[rhodies1]

120 lbs, any tighter and you will stretch the threads

Yep. 120 ft. lbs on the torque per the manual I have. Determined it is a 7/8" socket for the lugs. Had to go buy a 6 point in that size and all is snugged up now.
