someone mind giving me torque ratings for the lugs on the wheels. thanks ;x

^^^ 2 Bad pieces of advice. Do not tighten as hard as you can. This causes 2 problems. First, too much torque can warp rotors. Second, over torquing the lugs causes too much stress on the wheel studs that could then cause it to strip at best or break at worst.drew04GT said:its really important, just put them on as tight as you can ( unless you're weak, then have someone else do it )
i always crank them on tight, then do another 1/4 turn. if you look at tire places, they never torque them down ( unless they're new rims, in some cases they do ) they just put the suckers on with an impact wrench
Impact wrenches can be set to a specific torque rating so it can't make the lugs too tight.qbytiburon said:uhhh last i knew u dont actually need to get them that perfect... everyplace ive ever been where they take them off just use an impact wrench to put them back on.
yeah but i doubt they know/lookup the specs for how tight the lugs of cars should be they just prolly have a standard average they use. and if u go to a shop and say put these rims onf or me i bet itll cost u next to nothing if the tire is mounted, im assumeing thats why hes asking...NovaResource said:Impact wrenches can be set to a specific torque rating so it can't make the lugs too tight.
True, but I'm sure that average is closer to correct spec than to just "crank them on as tight as you can".qbytiburon said:yeah but i doubt they know/lookup the specs for how tight the lugs of cars should be they just prolly have a standard average they use. and if u go to a shop and say put these rims onf or me i bet itll cost u next to nothing if the tire is mounted, im assumeing thats why hes asking...
