Hi

You will find there are several alloys that are referred to as Stainless Steel.

The lug nuts that the people here got from Tredit while referred to as “Stainless” are actually referred to in the documentation as “corrosion resistant”.

This alloy has the same torque value as the carbon steel nuts.

By the way my ASE chart show 105 Ft Lbs as the proper torque for the ½ 20 grade 8 fastener wet.

I have 80,000 miles on the trailer at this time and have been using 105 ft lbs for the last 70,000 of that without any problem.
