correct wheel torque (lug nuts)??

gr99gt · 07-11-2001, 12:30 PM

Can someone tell me the correct torque I should use on my 99GT wheels? I tightened them to 110ft-lbs for now but I would appreciate the true spec. I checked my manual but it didn't list it anywhere. Thanks

Mine is 98 GT, but both being aluminum wheels, it should not be different.

The wheels should be tightened to 95 foot-pound.

specs say it should be between 85 and 105. a body shop just yesterday torqued two of my lugs off when they were putting my wheels back on so be careful putting that much on there (yeah, can you say pissed off?)
