Hi:

Anyone know what the correct Factory Torque Setting is for Firebird Trans Am Aluminum Slotted wheels ???

Apparently the tire shop and mechanic have 2 different views on the subject.

Thanks

Torque is 80, not 100 (just an assumption of what the two were arguing). 100 should not hurt it though, the 80 torque stick that they will use will put it very near 100. You can see this when you go to use a torque stick after torque sticking all 5 lugs.

with stock wheels I torque them till the impact goes bap-bap-bap.

My billets I torque to 85ftlbs.

I second the 85 lbs. Any more just starts harming the wheel stud threads and lugnuts. I do 85 on aluminum or steel wheels.
