Wheel torque specs

[RT22]

anyone know? I have the chrome wheels which I hear can work loose if not torqued right. I just did a back yard rotation and tightened with 4 way Backyard, (floor jack one side rotate front to back). But i know on my old Z the aluminum wheels had different specs than steel or chromed have. Anyone know?

Yeah my Z was 80-100, but it had aluminum wheels, and was told by a few that over torquing or not torquing evenly on aluminum can lead to rotor warpage as the wheels heat and cool cycle can really make the alum. wheel distort and cause rotors to warp. Which was a problem on the 90's Z's. Mine warped 2 times but with proper wheel torque it never happened again.

100 is too much. Nissan threads are soft and are easily pulled. I'd stay around 70lbft myself.
