    Going to change out the alloys this weekend.

    What's the tightening torque for the wheel nuts? The manual says 120Nm (88.5 lbft). Is this torque for steel wheels or alloys?

    Cheers

    I think it is the same for both. I contacted a mate at a car garage to ask him what i should torque to, and he said 120Nm ( I have alloys)

    Cheers, Greig.

    I over tightened the last time and have to ask a mate who owns a garage for help.
