Question:
I have the same rim only in 15 my question is this. What is Dexstar recommending for lug nut torque? I bought new hubs and they say go to rim manufacturer. And in the video it didnt cover wheel nut torque. Thank You

Expert Reply:
The proper lug nut torque for a 1/2 inch wheel stud would be 75-85 foot lbs, according to my Dexstar representative.
It is important to re-torque the lug nuts after 10 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles and then monthly after that.
I'll link you to some of our Wheel/Tire help articles for future reference.
