Torque spec for aluminum wheels

[Greybeard]

Hi and HAPPY EASTER from Nelson, BC

The 1994 B4000 4x4 5spd OD I bought last fall also came with a set of Eagle alloys with summer tires (235 BFG A/ts on 15 x 8 rims) I just purchased a new set of chrime lug nuts so starting with clean threads etc. Lug pattern as you probably already know is 5 on 4.5 circle. A friend suggested that 75-80 ft. lbs. was about right for lug nut torque on aluminum rims but I would rather hear it from those who really know their stuff.
Thanks

i run mine to 100 ft/lb on my car and my truck both. check them after 30-50 miles to make sure they are not backing off - especially with aluminum wheels.

1/2" studs should be torqued to 100ft/lbs
