Just replaced the tires on my open trailer and was wondering how much torque for the the lug nuts. 15" wheels.
Thank you.

My trailer specifies 90-110 ... I torque to 100.

Thank you.

I am told generally 80-120; check with the manufacturer.
BTW, torqueing the lug nuts (and rechecking them 50 miles down the road) is a very good idea - I know this because I seem to have forgotten to one time, and as a result saw 1left side wheel come bounding down the passing lane on the NY Thruway. No big damage, thank goodness. Tore up the trailer fender a bit, and I lost a day of DE, as well as a lot of pride, but thanks to my dual axle trailer and dually tow vehicle, all was stable.
I still feel stupid about it, though.

90 is what we use for steel wheels. 110 for aluminum.

If new rims, retorque often so the nuts seat properly.
