My dad had the rear wheel off of his '67 Camaro SS, and I need to put it back on to move the car. What is the correct setting on my torque wrench to use to tighten the wheel down? They are aftermarket aluminum wheels, if that matters.

 

70 pounds feet is all that's required.

 

That may be correct, but it can depend upon the wheel, and sometimes even the hubs/brakes on the car. I've seen some alloys spec'ed at 105 lb/ft with FWD and solid front rotors (weenie little Chrysler hubs).

 

i use 85 ft/lbs when i put wheels on, unless i know differant, like my weld pro stars on my 85 camaro thake 65 ft/lbs.

 

But he never asked about that. 67 Camaro should have 7/16" wheel studs. That spec is 70 pounds of torque and 70 pounds won't hurt the aftermarket rims.
