Could someone please tell me a recommended torque setting to use when torquing wheels on a Legends Car?  Thanks.

Thanks, I was thinking 90 - 100 foot pounds was a good setting but I wasn't totally sure about it.

Hello, The studs are metric, 12 x 1.5,  they should be torgued to 75 foot pounds.  1/2 studs are 100, and just so you know those old 7 / 16 studs are 65.  Those specs are from when I sold wheels and tires for years.  The makers on the studs, wheels, and tires had those settings.....



Thanks,

65 foot pounds is more than enough.
