Over torque or under torque will cause shear. Also note there has been alot of noted Al wheel failure which could also cause the shear stress on the studs. Torque on lug nuts and wheel inspection is also critical.

I lost a wheel off my Imagine trailer this past spring, due to under torqueing the lug nuts. TireMinder TPMS didn't bring up an error until 40 minutes after the wheel was lost, long after I had replaced it with the spare tire.

So is 100 ft/lbs the correct torque for all RV lugs, or is determined by tire size. Where is that information available?

The owners manual that came with my trailer said 90-120 foot pounds. I set mine at 105 or right in the middle. I can see why the lug not being tight can cause problems. The 60 degree angle of the face of the lug nut fits into the 60 degree cavity of the wheel. This is what supports all of the weight. It's not the center part of the rim it's the lug nuts that is supporting everything!!!
