Lug nut torque

[CAROLINA CUMMINS]

I was checking to see what the lug nut torgue for aluminum alloy wheels was, I need to check mine. I figured It wouldn't be as much as the stock steel ones.







Thanks, Steve

The wheel torque should be the same with or without alm wheels. 5 lug = 95 lbs. ft 8 lug = single wheel 135 lbs. ft 8 lug dual wheel = 145 lbs. ft.

I was just checking because I didn't want to strip anything.



Today at school I borrowed the torque wrench and checked to see what one of the wheels that hadn't been took off since I got the wheels(about 2 months ago) would click at until it turned, I got to 85 before it turned any, so I checked all 4, and some would just turn a little bit before they would hit 85ft-lbs. I'll torque them to 135lbs tomorrow.
