Torquing new wheels.. how many ft. lbs?

Believe stock 19" rims good to go at around 85 ft./lbs.
Anyone know if that amount OK for aftermarket Volk SF Winnings? Thanks for your help.

same as stock around 85 is good. the amount of torque actually depends on the lug size not the wheels. with new rims you should recheck the torque after a couple of days as they will settle into the aluminum a little and need to be retorqued.

Smart Idea.......

I torq my wheels at 85 ft lbs! Don't ever let anyone use a impact gun on
your rims plus they are the cause of warped discs too.

Oh crap, I thought it was 80 ft lbs. I better go re-torque mine if that's the case.

Cool

Anywhere between 80 - 90 lbs and you should be ok on almost any wheel.

limiting factor are the studs.

That's WAY too much. FSM states 72-87 ft lbs. Page MA26.
