- MTPockets1ExplorerMy 16" Alum wheels, 8 studs, with G rated tires on 7000 lb axles call for 125 ft. lbs.... recheck after first 100 miles and then after 500 miles.... then before each trip..... per Dexter.
- aruba5erExplorerI'd check Alcoa website for recomendations. They made the wheel. Alum is softer than the steel stud and nut. I'd want to see it in print, not someones opinion.
- Cummins12V98Explorer IIIIf your studs are 9/16" 120#, 5/8" 150#.
Alcoa's are nice, recently changed out my GY G's for GY H with 17.5" Alcoa's. - larry_barnhartExplorerMy thinking will be 120 to 125 ft lbs of torque.
chevman - howardwheelerExplorerSo it is the axle and its studs that determine torque. Great. I can look that up for they are Dexter 7000 lbs. axles.
- Artum_SnowbirdExplorerI use 146 on my 19.5 Vision aluminium wheels with G rated tires for my camper. Best solution is to check the wheels website to see what they recommend though.
- agesilausExplorer IIIStud size, Dexter specifies torque values for their axles and hubs if you have a Dexter axle. It's 100-125 pounds for a 1/2 inch stud on my unit.
