What is the proper ft lbs to torque the lug nuts on the factory rims on an 03 tlp.

Thanks

 

80 lbs should do it. :think:

 

Thanks

 

I set mine to 100 Ibs.

 

:cop: Manual says 80

 

believe it or not, torqueing your lugs that high can do damage to not only your rims, lugs, and wheel studs, but you can do damage to your brake system..you'll be warping your rotors much quicker due to over torqueing and who knows what else could go wrong....i would go right now and re-torque them to 80 ft/lbs

 

80 for stock wheels but 100 for aftermarket. The fitting is different between the stocks and the aftermarket. That's what I was told by my tire guy and tire rack.

 

ive been taught 100 for aluminum rims and 80 for steel..so thats what i stick with

 

It doesn't matter what wheels you have on your car. When you torque the lugs it streches the stud. The torque is different on different cars because of the tensile strength of the stud used.....

Therefore it's 80ftlbs regardless of the wheel choice........

well now that ive been torqueing my wheels at 100 and my studs are stretched..is it safe to go back to 80?
