Sorry guys,
If you want to be snotty OK, I forgot this is a forum, read your own stuff, Regular Grade with cast wheels, not 19" forged wheels. But regardless, good engineering says otherwise.

What is the reasoning behind tightening forged wheels tighter than cast?

Why did you even bother asking? Calculations never lie.

Getting iggy with it.

You'll be fine at 80lbs there is no reason to caveman them any tighter on unless you want to end up with stripped lug-nuts or studs

never mind the fukin hernia you're going to get trying to get them off in an emergency!

Even an aftermarket Dorman fastener company says 80ft.lbs.
But the list the GTR @97ft.lbs. (same thread pitch,but different looking nuts) M12x1.25.....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...00180d292e.jpg

110 lbs for me with spacers and aftermarket wheels.

cooltoy 01-12-2017 09:46 AM

How did you arrive to that number? Because of the spacers?

This table from TireRack seems to imply that lug nut torque is based solely on the stud size, not wheel type or nut type. I have seen this table on several sites.

Yes Sir and the fact that my setup is heavier than stock, better safe than sorry. Besides, I have Z1 aftermarket extended studs as well which is another reason.

Or you could always ask your wife to pull it back with a vacuum!

I have 2 Chevy Trucks W/M14x1.5 studs & factory wheels/nuts....both torque to 140ft.lbs.
This also includes the Gen5 Camaro.
