Based off of size and type of nut; 3/8 galvanized.
Felt like I would ruine the nut itself if I pushed more. Plus I've seen some comments online where people used a giant torque wrench and tightened 50+ ft-lb - which, in some cases, broke the inset bolt.

I used an oscillating tool (instead of a circular saw) to do the cutouts on the panels.
I wouldn't torque the last nuts to hold down the running board past 20 ft-lb.
