WHEEL AND TIRE
TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to the
vehicle. Any time a wheel has been removed and
reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug nuts/bolts should
be torqued using a properly calibrated torque
wrench using a high quality six sided (hex) deep wall
socket.

Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to mount-
ing the tire and remove any corrosion or loose
particles.
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until each
nut/bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure that the
socket is fully engaged on the lug nut/bolt (do not
insert it halfway).

the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in personal injury.
