[Shotimes] Quick question

[Ron Nottingham]

On aluminum wheels, usually no more than 100 lb-ft.  Torque them in a star
pattern, adding a little more each time.  Example: all lugs hand tight, then
60, then 70, etc.

I wouldn't go higher than 100 lb-ft for aluminum wheels, but some
manufacturers state 80 or 90 lb-ft.  I have my lugs tighted to 100 lb-ft, no
ill effects.

> This is not a joke. I need to know what the torque should be for the lug
nuts.  Please dont send in any "as hard as you can turn the wrench" or
"until it FEELS tight enough".  Thans for your serious answers.
