Hi All, anyone know if the stock 7/16 wheel studs can safely take the lug nuts
eing torqued to more than the 48 lbs. ft specified in the shop manual if one
is
ow using aftermarket wheels and lug nuts? Torque charts today say to go to
0-80 ft. pounds on 7/16 studs. Maybe the 48 lbs. ft. stock figure is due to
imits imposed by strength of the OEM nut or wheel rather than stud strength?
heers, Gene
