Lug size for 2003 Alpenlite

[howardwheeler]

Does anyone know the lug size on a 2003 Alpenlite Portofino Villa. It has aftermarket Alcoa rims and 16" load range G tires. The brochure says it has 7000 lbs axles but all the brake components are for a 8000 lbs axle. It seems the lugs can be 9/16ths or 5/8ths. Thanks

Torque mine to 120#

Thanks Larry, So it is dependent on the wheel and not just the lug.

95 ft lbs were for the steel wheels and I think 120 ft lbs for the aluminum wheels.

Found it! It was stamped on the lug nut all along. I just couldn't see it because it was up where the lug nut hits the wheel. It's a 9/16x18. Thanks for looking. I don't have Facebook but the Forum sounds good. I wish it were open to non-Facebook users. Does anybody know if torque is a factor of the lug or the wheel. I'm changing from electric to Kodiak electric hydraulic discs and will have all new lugs. I have aftermarket 16" Alcoa forged wheels so I'm not sure the torque in the book is accurate.

Have someone with calipers check them.

I have 8000 lb hubs/brakes on 7000 lb axles 9/16 lugs but they also come with 5/8's.

My Discover America has Dexter axles. Has 7000# springs and 8000# axles. The studs are 9/16". Had trouble finding torque value.
