What are the TQ settings on the EVO lugnuts??????????

I went ot local dealer and got wheel locks for my EVO adn they had not servised one yet and I asked what the Tq specs were for the lug nuts they told me 67 foot lbs but I wanted to make sure that was correct since they had to ask 3 tecks before I got my answer.

thanks in advance for any info

I think that is correct it is the lowest # in the specified range...I think it is 67-75 ft/lbs....Needless to say mine are at 80ft/lbs!!!

A friend of mine (who is familiar with the EVO's since conception) advised me to torque them at 75 ft #'s... So that's what I do...

I think some more question marks would help. Most cars are between 60-80, so 70lbs/ft is safe on just about any wheel.

I torque mine at 80 ft/lbs. That is the highest rating in the owners manual.
