Just wondering what torque settings do you all use for your wheel nuts on an Mpi? Haynes says 44/b?

I would have no clue, so I tend to go for a round figure in that case of around 70nm.

I think thats about 50ft pounds.

It can vary with the pattern of nut, especially tube nuts.

Alloys = 50nm
Steel wheels = 60nm
