Question Lug Nut Torque ????????

Hey y'all. I just ordered a set of ADR Battle Exe 18" rims. How do I know the correct torque (in lbs.) when I put them on? I heard if you tighten them too tight you can waqrp the rotors. If anyone knows how many lbs. to torque them to, it would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Please try a search before making a new thread.

You can find a complete How-To HERE

Or you can find the torque value in your owners manual, which states 100 ft/lbs.

I did run a search but found nothing useful. And aftermarket rims get a different torque than the lame stock ones. thanks though.

Torque the lugs @ 100ft.lbs., it doesn't matter if they are aftermarket or not.
