Every race car I have ever drove has always had them torqued to 90 Ft Lbs.
I have transferred that over to every street car in my driveway.
Can't go wrong with 90.

Just take it somewhere to get it done beacause if something goes wrong, then you have someone to blame.

wow...

all he has to do is put his wheels on:bash:

when a dealer or mechanic puts wheels on... they use an impact air wrench...

they don't torque em down... they make em tight as dannyB's GF!
