I have aftermarket 16x8 aluminum wheels - should I be torqueing them to 100 ft/lbs?

 

need to check the specs with the wheel company. i know my stock aluminum wheels were at 100 however my new aluminum wheels are at 85.

i have to torque the adapters to 100 since that's the recomendation with the hub but i can't exceed 85 on the wheel.

 

They're just Eagle Alloy wheels....I guess I have to call them then?

 

i'd call them to be sure but it will probably be the same as the stock specs which as far as i'm aware is 100

 

75 to 100 is usually the going rate, so somewhere in there .
100 sounds about right to me, but don't quote me on it.

 

my weld pro stars are 65 ft/lbs, so all wheels don't require the same torque

 

In the owner 's manual the torque spec is 85 #/ft for the Aluminum 16 x 8 or any other of the same type. Too much toque may cause stress cracks or make removing the lugnuts difficult.
