Hi folks,

Just wanted to know, from those of you who use a torque rench to lock up the wheel bolts, what pressure do you use (NM)?

Also i read in the instructions that the pressure is bolt length dependable! Is it true?

Thanks.

i had that predicament afew months back, the details are in the Instruction manual, and its around 120 Nm.

You can always ask a wheel install garage about this, but i,d stick to the manuals guideline!
