Wheels/Tyres: - Wheel not torque settings

Velorum · Sep 12th, 2006, 20:03

Evening all

Just recieved some nice chrome wheel nuts from Braydon's to fit my new Corona alloys. Ive looked in the Haynes manual and it gives the torque setting as 81. However, this is the only one given and it doesnt state whether it is for steel or alloy wheels - Im assuming that it is for steel ones.

Any one know what the setting is for alloy wheels?

Regards
Ian

Dont know if its any help, but the Torque setting for 850/70 alloys
is 110N. DB.

the "81" refers to the torque figure in lbs feet, which equates to 110 nm
