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.

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

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

Or... have them tighten the nuts by hand as much as possible with your emergency wrench. You should not be able to overtighten the nuts that way.Originally Posted by mlilly4

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.
