The recommended lug nut torque for the Chevy Silverado is specified by the manufacturer as 140 ft.-lbs. This is recommended if using a torque wrench and will allow You to tighten the bolts without stripping or breaking the lug stud. It also lets You know that Your wheel assembly is secured and installed so it will not cause any pressure variances on the parts attached to the wheel. If You happen to damage the lug nuts or studs they can be replaced for approximately $10 - $20 per set. You will have to find the correct lug size and placement from the owner's manual. The Chevy Silverado 1500 bolt pattern is listed aS6x139.7mm or 6x5.5 and the thread type is listed as m14x1.5.
