240 lugs

Post by **clockwork** » Wed Mar 19, 2003 9:55 am

How much do you torque 240 lugs? I have alloy Konig 17's. Called some tire shops and got different answers. Anyone know?

Thanks,Clockwork

Go to a good trusted most respected Tire/Wheel Shop and stick with what they have or use.

With the factory alloys the FSM states 72-87ftlbs all around, should be the same with the Konig's

yes, torque goes by car, like tire inflation, not by wheel or tire, etc...

87 ft/lb would be the max to run, unless you use NISMO studs...-chet

Not really the same thing if your wheel falls off...your ***, I would torque it to the proper specs. Lug nuts arent one thing you go half-assed on

Thanks guys, i torqued them to 85 ft. lbs. - which is what a good tire place said that asked for my car year/model. Another place i called said 100 ft. lbs. for any alloy wheel - so i guess i won't go there, ever

my wheel place also mentioned to retorque the lugs after 50 miles or so to make sure nothing's gonna fall off. better safe than sorry

NOOB question, but...

How can you tell how many lbs you've torqued the lug nuts?
