2025 Gt Wheel nut torque?

[abstruse1]

Manual says 150 lb. Ft., but I found 130 on the Net. 150 seems high, but maybe not. Which is correct? Thanx.

Owners manual....

The older cars were an M12 bolt and only 100lb-ft

I’ve been doing 150 with no adverse effects.

Can't go wrong by following the OWNER'S MANUAL....

Ditto, 150. Got rid of the locknuts and put on Gorilla one piece lug nuts. No problems.

150 for me. Dang! I had to buy a new 1/2" torque wrench to get there too!

Been tightening lug nuts for 43+ years. Thats' one thing I don't NEED a torque wrench for!

Fortunately, I had to upgrade before for my F-250 @ 165

I really don't understand why anyone would second-guess the owner's manual that was written by the people who designed and manufactured the product.

I've never torqued a lug nut or lug bolt more than 90-95 ft lb and never had a wheel come loose on street or track. Best to do with two people with wheel off the ground and brake on. To me 150 ft lb is creating too much stress on components. Do what you need to to feel safe.
