Lug nut torque ?

[Big Mike]

What is the recommended lug nut torque for the stock wheels on a H3 ?

Tracking info says the 315's will be here tomorrow, I hope to get them mounted up ASAP......Always like to double check the tire shop after they mount them up.. :shifty:

One more question, should I anti sieze the studs or treat them with anything to prevent them from rusting or just leave them be ??

Thanks.. :thumbs:

Lug nuts as with any fastener should be brought up to torque with a torque wrench. Or tightened with an air gun using a torque stick. Unlike the boobs at tire stores who usually hammer them on with an air gun and then check them with a torque wrench.
If you recheck them after you leave tyre shop , be sure to loosen them a half turn then torque to spec one at a time in a criss cross pattern. This makes for even pull on each wheel stud and helps minimize rotor runout.

Thanks for the quick reply much appreciated..


I always break the lugs loose after I leave and re-torque them just to be safe..
