Wheel Torque
What pd torque would it be for 15 inch wheel on my fifth wheel
Forum Discussion
- 110 ft. lbs.
- I have towed all kind of trailers for over 55 years and have never torqued the nuts on the wheels. Never had one come off or stripped. Yeah I know . I should torque them
- Not sure what FW you have, or what axle, but I would say 95-100 lb ft. I set my 5200# six lug axle at 95 lb ft.
Jerry - From an etrailer.com chart, it is 90-120 for 15" steel wheels or 90-100 for 15" aluminum wheels. Unless you have a manual that says otherwise.
- Read your owners manual it's all there.

The owners manual packet I got with both of my last 2 trailers included the manual for the axles.
The spec is in that one.- These guesses around 100 lbs. or so are probably correct. My 16" wheels have a sticker right on the fender for 100 lbs..
If you don't get an accurate response, just do similar to what I did. I bought a set of torque sticks and I keep a cordless impact wrench with us on trips. I check the lugs before every trip we take. Takes about three minutes to do all six wheels.
