Wheel nut torque

[michael47]

G’Day All
Today I took the front Wheels off to clean and polish them and as I went to put them back on I realized that I did not know the torque settings for the wheel nuts .The studs are so small compared to my other vehicles ,the Marlin is a 1994 YKC Marine based roadster and the wheels I think are Gemimi 5-1/2 -13’sa and the wheel nuts come with washers .Any ideas on proper setting I have set them for now at 50 lbs .
Thanks
Michael

You wasnt far out as the WSM says 48lbf/ft or 6.6 kgf/m is the spec for steel wheels as a guide. With alloy wheels its best to re check after first run out.
