99-04 wheel lug nut torque

[2001StanGT]

Need to re-torque the lug nuts and need to know how many foot-pounds. I checked the manual and didnt find an answer!

80-90 ft/lbs always re-check the lugs on an aluminum rim a few days after installing...

do us all a favour and buy a torque wrench, even a cheap one from harbor freight will work for lugnuts.

We do have one . I just dont use it for lug nuts...only think we torque with it are everything in the bottom end of an engine, and the heads.

[propellerhead]
