Lug Nut Torque

I know this was mentioned before, but I read through my manual and yeah the STi stuff is in there, just sorta hidden.

Whats the correct torque for the lug nuts? Need to put some locking ones on.

Thanks.

I used 70 on my WRX and so did the same on the STi. I found they weren't torqued to that as many still gave a little before I hit the click. Should be safe with 70-75. Just don't overtorque them unless you want to replace the bolts.

Yeah I think they were like 60-65, I tested them first after about 100 miles and they all tightened a bit more. Probably Subaru being safe, who knows. Finally put the locking nuts on too, cant be too careful.

Wheels feel pretty light, wish I had a scale to weigh them.
