I've tried a search on the bbs but there's nothing there.
Running 18's what torque settings should I be achieving on me nuts
And for 17's (my slicks) any idea's.
Thankyou in anticipation

Mellow, I think the official figure is 80-odd lbs/ft, but Pete Croney put a post up here recently suggesting that 65-70 lbs/ft was max. Over this figure and the chrome starts to crack off the standard wheel nuts and this begins to chew the stud.
I've noticed this myself. I guess they're not designed to be taken on and off dozens of times a year, as track day junkies do.

I agree with the comments re the standard ones not up to track jaunts. After a while with all that wheel changing the standard studs and nuts just ain't up to it. the answer is to fit the longer group N studs and new wheel nuts. Well, it worked for me.
