Wheel nut torque

[edspeedyg]

Sooo, I looked & searched all the possible places for recommended wheel nut torque specifications and can not find it anywhere.
I’ve looked in the manual under the usual Tires & Wheels, searched the web but no ones asked the dumb question?

page 7-35 of the 2021 owners manual states: "After rotation, be sure to bring the front and rear tire pressures to specification and check lug nut tightness. (proper torque is 79~94 lb-ft [11~13 kg-m])"

Thank you Nac! Feeling pretty stupid, as I read it, but not far enough!

Seems like a wide range. Any more specific?

94 - 79=15...
15/2 =7.5....
79+7.5=86.5

I set my torque wrench to 87 lb-ft (which is the middle of the range)

100 FT/LBS is my go to number for lug nuts. Your not going to damage anything give or take 5-10 lbs either way. I can assure you most shops are cranking them to their guns limits way over this by my need to get a breaker bar to get them off
