Need Wheel Torque Specifications...

I'm thinking about rotating my tires and I want to make sure that they are properly tightened when I'm finished. Can someone give me the torque specifications for 17" SE wheels.

Thanks.

I was just thinking about rotating the tires myself, anyone know of the wheel torque specs. on the 18" R/Harts C2s? I dont trust wheel shops anymore cuz they scratch 1 rim last time while rotating them. Of course they said they didn't do that...thxns.

80 sounds like a nice even number.

That's what I always torque them to... damn Firestone put them at like 130 on my old steel wheels. No tire shop is touching the new wheels.

130?!?! Lucky you don't have warped rotors.

The torque spec is not determined by the wheel type, it's by the size of the bolt. 72-87 lb-ft if you're using a 21mm bolt.
