Does anyone know what the torque specs for the lug nuts on the G are? I'm going to have new tires mounted and I will request that the lug nuts be tightened by hand with a torque wrench instead of the dreaded air wrench.

 

i torqued mine down to 85 ft-lbs

 

90-95lb depending if your using an extension. oh yes i love guys that pound lugs on with a 200lb impact x.x some guy almost did that with my black rays lugs..

 

The owners manual for my 05 G35 sedan says 80 FT-LBS

 

80-90 ft.lbs, whatever you feel most comfortable with but 80 will do it.

why do people keep asking questions that are in the manual?

 

I believe the manual says 80lbs

can anyone second that for confirmation?

 

80s but not quite sure.
wow 200lbs...i would be surprised if anyone uses 100lbs. lord;;;

 

I believe the manual stated 80-90FT Lbs as well. Anyway, Whenever you install lugs on a wheel, be sure to retorque them after a 100 miles or so!

 

a guide at the tire shop said 82 ft-lbs
retorque is recommended.

 

Don't overtighten them......80 lbs. is enough.

Owners manual... Changing a flat tire section.. it says 80 lbs in there. I just put on my winter tires this past week and used that as the reference....

As mentioned previously, you people need to look in the manual before asking these questions.... you might actually find something useful in there!

 

2004 Shop manual says 72 - 87 ft-lbs. As stated above, 80 ft-lbs is correct. I find that using a good torque wrench eliminates vibration and guesswork.
