as the title says I wanted to know what people are torquing down their lugs to on a 2002 wrx. The manual says 55-75 lbs I believe, but that seems too vague to me

anyone know?

 

these are the stock rims and stock lugs as by the way.

 

Nope. I torque my aftermarket wheels down at 80 ft-lbs. So 55-75 ft-lbs sounds right.

 

the spec is actually 58-72 foot pounds .... I would use the higher end of that range if it was my choice

 

Yea after I posted and went back to the book and saw that the numbers that I wrote in the thread are not the same as ones found in the manual. I went ahead and torqued them to 65 thinking that was a good average.

 

I think most people do mid-70's

 

Just don't over torque. Stripped wheel studs are not fun.

 

its not THAT hard to get them out, I do need another spline lug nut though

I mean....you can strip them?

 

Never done them. GST fixed mine when that happened. I hear I have 2 replacement wheel studs from the "L."

 

is that why your car is so fast?

 

Could be the reason why it is so slow... Who knows...

i do mine to 72lbs. I have an 06 and thats what the manual says. Its specific. Thast wierd it gives you a range and not a single number

 

Ive always done mine to 75ft. lbs. with no issues
