putting on rims...

[Mitseclipse101]

i am going to be putting on rims and tires and i wasn't too sure if you need to torqe the lugs or if you are sopposed to just put them on with a wratchet, thanks

Make SURE you have the nuts torqued correctly or your wheels WILL come off. About 85-100ft/lbs is what most DSMers do.

also try to make sure to keep the torques somewhat even on each individual lug. Too much variance in the torque on one wheel's lugs could warp that wheel's rotor. Doesn't have to be perfect, just not sloppy

Torque accordingly and use the star method (It's shown in the Haynes manual)
