Lug Nut ft lbs

[KJ2005]

does anyone know what the proper torque specs (ft lbs) for the lug nuts should be?

 

[azmotoman]

Standard torque used "industry-wide" is 80. Run this for about 200 miles and re-torque. Make sure to use an alternating cross or star pattern after all lugs are seated.

The '03 FSM gives a range of 85-115 ft-lbs, but what azmotoman said should be just fine. I tend to run them on the lighter side of the range so I don't have to fight as much if I'm changing one in the rain on a muddy roadside

Corwyyn's got it down. 50 would work, but you would be checking them every other day... There is always a method to the madness!

Remind me not to come to Meza,at 50 you'd be loosing wheels real fast.

Alloy keep it at 85-95 ft lbs,steel rims keep it at 100-110 ft lbs.

I just take my impact to them and press the trigger a few times.
