For the 2012 Chevrolet Silverado, including the 1500, 2500, and 3500 models, the recommended lug nut torque is 140 pound-feet. The standard Silverado comes with a lug nut pattern of 6x139.7 and is typically equipped with 17-inch rims, although it can also accommodate 18-inch and 20-inch rims. Larger rims should be inflated to 30 psi, while smaller rims usually require 35 psi. The lug nuts on this truck have a thread size of M14 X1.5, and the center bore measures 78.1 millimeters. I hope this information is useful to you!
