Lugnut torque specs?JeffsWorld 03-30-2003, 06:45 PM Anyone happen to know the torque specs (ft lbs) for wheel lug nuts? thnx. shoebox 03-30-2003, 06:51 PM 100 lb. ft. speed_demon24 05-29-2005, 01:30 PM I know I'm bringing this thread back from the dead, but I just stripped 2 lugnuts using my torque wrench set at 100 lb ft. :mad: sean1997ws6 05-29-2005, 01:33 PM Until the Impact goes BBBBLLLLLAAAADDDDDt. haha just kidding Jeff95TA 05-29-2005, 02:40 PM I know I'm bringing this thread back from the dead, but I just stripped 2 lugnuts using my torque wrench set at 100 lb ft. :mad: Just curious, were the nuts lubed? Injuneer 05-29-2005, 02:48 PM I routinely tighten my alloy wheels to 100 lb-ft, in a star pattern, in two steps, and never came close to stripping a lugnut. I use anti-sieze, since the street wheels get swapped out so often for the drag wheels. AW/whiteZ-28 05-29-2005, 03:54 PM I use the same all the time no problems here, They have even been over tightened by accident without stripping.

I put anti-sieze on them awhile ago, but haven't put any on recently. I thought I read in the owners manual not to use anit-seize so I stopped. I'm probably gonna start using it agian though... 87DJP2001 05-30-2005, 08:07 AM Always used 80 #/ft of torque on alloy wheels. 100 is a little excessive.
