imo that doesnt matter, whenever i take off a wheel to rotate them, i just screw on the lugs and jump on the tire iron a couple times to get them really really tight.

80lb-ft is the proper rating. However, I like to torque them to 85-90 to just be sure. Makes me feel better. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

80 is the proper torque. 85-90 you might strip your bolts through time.

if you torque them to much then your streching the stud and the threads inside the bolt, your gonna have loose rims. Its gonna suck i learned this in autoshop when i first used an impact wrech to put lugs back on without the special attachment, i still remember how much i got yelled at that day and thats what my autoshop teacher told me 80 lbs

torque at 80-85, honda torqued mine at 120 one time and stripted all the lug studs on one wheel. dont ever let honda touch your car unless you need an oil change. i have gone through two law suits because of them (winning both of them because of dealer and service neglagence).

80ft-lbs!!!

NO OTHER OPTION!

Buy yourself a cheap ($30) torque wrench and make sure you torque them correctly! Avoid lots of problems in the future!

don't they make a noise once torqued to spec? whenever I jump on the wrench i hear a clicking noise--that's when i stop tightening it.
