Help I just put a set of American Eagle center mount wheels.

What is the correct torque for these wheels.

I torque mine to 125 on lubricated studs. I believe the spec is 140 on dry studs. Do not go too heavy or you will compress the aluminum and stretch the studs.

Just give em some "grunt". They wont come off. I broke a Harbor Freight torque wrench trying to get 150 on mine. My head hit side of coach and I was out like a light switch had been turned off.
