David,

The 250 ft lb spec has been discussed here MANY times and we have reached a consensus that it is WAY too high as it leads to broken
studs. IIRC most people torque their steel wheel lug nuts to the same torque as the Alcoa lug nuts.

The Alcoa lug nuts are not torqued as high as the steel wheel lug nuts, if I recall correctly 145 ft/lbs vs 250 ft/lbs. I don't know
if the Alcoa lug nut would take that torque.

You already have 3 stock lug nuts holding your spare on the carrier. Is carrying 5 more that much trouble?
