Trailer wheel torque

I'm about to install my new 16" 6 lug trailer wheels on my fiver. I have no info from the wheel company about wheel torque. Anyone have any suggestions on the subject. Again, these are 16" aluminum, 7 spoke, 6 lug wheels rated at 110psi/3200 lbs. Thanks. PCM

Have you tried talking the the wheel manufacturer? What about calling a local tire shop? Failing these options... If the wheel studs are 1/2", you should be fine with 100ft-lb.

There is info on the Keystone customer service page that has wheel torque specs and guidelines. Is not specific to any size, type or material of wheel EXCEPT those with G rated tires. The site says to torque to 110-120. Does this sound right for a 16" aluminum wheel? My wheel itself nor the wheel manufacturers (Sendel) website has any wheel torque info. PCM
