Question How much torque to Lug nuts?
I have 17" rims with 215/45/17 potenza tires. I am goin to paint the calipers. Before I take the rims off, how much TORQUE should I apply back into the lug nuts when putting them back on? The tire store did it for me last time, and I never asked how much torque they applied.
