Road Wheels Torque

[WOODWAYS6]

Hi what is the correct tightening value for the wheel bolts in N Meters ?

Just read this on the net,

‘The recommended torque for your Toyota Prius lug nuts is 103 Nm, which is equivalent to 76 ft-lbs or 91 in-lbs. You can use a torque wrench to apply this amount of force to each lug nut in a star pattern, starting from the center and moving outward.’

Umm, 76 ft-lbs is 912 in-lbs, not that you are likely to find a in-lb torque wrench that goes that high.  This example shows why sticking using Nm is a better idea.  It avoids the ft-lbs vs in-lbs trap.

Thanks for that.
