Lug Nut Torque Setting

[20ducks]

I used 170 ft lbs because it was suggested by a Service guy at my local Ford dealership. However, just last week I had new wheels/tires installed by Discount Tires. I had asked what torque rating they use, One counter guy and one installer both told me 150. What is it supposed to be?

Did you look at the owners manual?

Jesus I did mine to 100 and thought that was 20ft lbs over what it should be.

Thanks for posting. I had a screw patched up last week and just saw it was torqued to 110 when reinstalled at a local tire shop. I'll get that remedied today.

What about Carbon Fiber rims. Is the spec different?

When Ford went M14 x 1.5 torque changed to 150ftlbs. Before the change the studs were smallar torque was 100ftlbs. For all those who don't use a torque wrench its not smart no matter how great you think you are.

Same. There is a metal insert in there.
