Small Trailer Wheel Studs Torque Specs

[1stgenbird]

I have a small trailer with 12" steel wheels for my 14' boat. What would be the torque specs for the wheel lugs? I see other threads say 90-100 ft lbs but those threads seem to be talking about larger trailers.

7/16 studs should take 60-70 lbs, 1/2" studs 70-80. 90-100 would be appropriate for 9/16" studs found on a 3/4 ton or better truck.

Good info. They are 1/2 " studs that I did end up torqueing to 90
