frank bullitt Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Anyone know the torque specs for 20 Alcoa Wheels? I ran a search and found a comment on 18' KR Alcoa Wheels needing higher torque than what is normally called for. Not sure about Alcoa 20's though.

I ran a search and found a comment on 18' KR Alcoa Wheels needing higher torque than what is normally called for. Not sure about Alcoa 20's though. I assume you're asking about the lug nut torque.... The torque on a fastener is determined by the diameter of the threads and somewhat by the material you're bolting into, if into something other than a nut. Unless you put a lager dia. stud on it, the torque should be the same regardless of what wheel you're using. You should be able to find a chart on the Internet that tells you the max torque for each diameter of bolt/stud you have. I think I have one in my machinist tool box but we're in the middle of a blizzard right now so I won't be checking anytime soon! Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclass Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Not sure of the official value, but I torque mine to 85ft/lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Let me check my SS manual to see.....oh wait, we still don't have a manual do we. All kidding aside, I have my Alcoas torqued to 100 ft/lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I would think they are to Fords spec which is 100 ft/lbs as Dan stated. When you are torque them put a drop of light oil on the bolt threads to obtain & accurate reading of 100 ft/lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
