Hey sirs,

quick question. I have the wheels off the car right now. What's the torque specs for the lugs when putting them back on. Stock 17" wheels on a 525i.

Thanks

Thanks guys. I went to a friends house so he can change my brake pads and in the process swap out my rotors for R1 concepts. When he took the wheels off, he commented that he thought the lugs were surprisingly easy to take off and wanted to make sure he got the wheels back on properly.

THANKS AGAIN!!
