What do you torque yours down to? I have mine at 125 foot pounds. Whats Nissan recommend?

 

90lbs

Edit: Recommend was 80lbs I "read" somewhere, but I use 90lbs.

 

80-100lbs is fine

 

Any damge by having them at 125 foot pounds?

 

can you get it off? i know a lot of people just tighten them with the breaker bar and call it a day.....its all about feel really

 

I torque mine to 80 foot pounds.

EDIT: foot, not food haha

lol

 

80-100 lbs

 

90ish ft lbs

 

The specification according to the Factory service manual is 73-94 ft-lb.

 

First thing I do when I get home from a tire store is use a pipe and breaker bar to loosen them from the super torqueing they get from an air wrench. No way I would get them off on teh road iff I get a flat.

The I retighten until they are all really snug and then go through them all once more time in a star pattern with a little more umph. Been doing it that way for 30 years and haven't had a problem yet.

The only time I use a torque wrench on wheels is when I am working on my buddies pit crew and we are putting the wheels and tires on before inspection. During the race we hit them with a nitrogen charged impact wrench and they get jammed on at about 120 ft/lbs.

 

Geeze guys over torquing your lugs can not only cause premature tensional failures but it can also warp your rotors, wheels, etc...
