Lug nut torque

[AmmoVan]

I ordered the factory service CD from Geno's but I need to rotate my tires. Does anyone know the torque spec on the lug nuts?







Thanks

The lug nut spec is in your owner's manual. I think it's approximately 135 to 145 ft. lbs.

165 w/o lubrication, such as anti-sieze. If lubed, 25% less torque. Too much for my pipe-cleaner guns, so 135 lb/feet all-around.

IIRC it is different for Aluminum vs Steel Chrome clad wheel, but as HB said the ratings are in the owners manual.

Steel wheels are 145 ft*lb. Aluminum are 135. I torque to 133 indicated on my wrench in 2 stages (100, then 133). I periodically apply anti-seize.

I've never heard the 165 ft*lb number.

Thanks for the information. I must have overlooked the spec in the owners manual
