Tighten lug nuts of bolts in a progressive criss-cross pattern. Impact wrench are not recommended due to the possibility of irregular or overtightening. Owner’s manual recommended torque specification should be followed. If not available, please refer to the following torque guide: 12mm Stud. Dia. 70-80ft/lbs 14mm Stud. Dia. 85-95ft/lbs 7/16″ Stud. Dia. 55-65ft/lbs 1/2″ Stud. Dia. 75-85ft/lbs 9/16″ Stud. Dia. 95-115ft/lbs If you’re not sure, call us and we’ll tell you what to torque the wheels to. The installer must instruct the customer to re-torque or return immediately after 25 miles, 100 miles maximum, so installer can re-torque to proper specifications.
