Wheel torque settings?

[Darth Tater]

Guys

Anyone know what the wheel nuts should be torqued to when changing wheels on a LCR

Need to put old wheels back on later to scrub in new tyres for trackday

Search of the forum and SCN FAQ reveals no result on this

Don't want to under/over tighten bolts when changing

Thanks

I usually torque wheels at 120, can't remember if it's lb/ft or nm on my torque wrench

 

[Saul]

hopefully Nm

Wheel bolts to be tightened to 120Nm +/- 5.

lb/ft = 120x0.225x3.28 = 88.5 lb/ft

Thanks for all the advice chaps

I've noted both figures for future references

Unfortunately my bolts were on so damn tight I couldn't get the off!

Actually broke the socket reducer in the process

Thankfully my local garage were kind enough to change wheels over for £20 which given the probs I had I considered money well spent

Sadly I managed to damage one of my alloys with the rench whilst trying to get the wheel off so that'll be a refurb then

Checked my torque wrench and it's 120nm so sport on

120Nm says the manual.

120neuton metre, should be same for every car in the country, probably in the world. only variates on bigger vehicles
