Help With TORQUE

LennyK · 07-18-2018, 11:30 AM

Hello

My Owners Manual Says "Torque Wheel Nuts To 80 Ft-Lbs"
My New Wheels Say "Torque Wheel Nuts To 87-94 Ft Lbs"

Should I Split The Difference To 85???? (What Would You Do)

Lol do whatever the wheel specs call for. Just remember to check them regularly. Just don't way over torque them by 50ft/lbs or more. Some just do 100ft/lbs and call it a day regardless of the wheel.

a few extra ft lbs is better than seeing your wheel pass you while you're spinning out lol

I do 85ft/lbs to accommodate for the socket extension. If I use a torque stick, they will be set to 80ft/lbs.
