question about steel rims

I'm putting on my winter steel rims and tires. How tight should we put on the rims?

Thanks.

Probably. 85 ft-lbs sounds about right IIRC.

I REALLY hope the reason why no one understands WTF Greek is talking about is because English isn't his first language or something....

Man, since when does everyone need every specific word and explaination in a simple thread. If you don't know, don't answer. If your confused, ask. If you want to crack Greek Jokes, find a room full of us, and go to town.
