    So I just bought a set of Mach M7 rims and have a question about the wheel nut torque. The manual says around 100 ft-lbs of torque on factory rims. I called the supplier I bought the wheels from and they said 70-80 ft-lbs of torque. This seems low to me, has anyone else come across this? I'm...

Didn't think much of it until I went to reinstall the bolts with the bar installed, and the same side that spun a little when coming off keeps spinning when im trying to...

    If you couldn't figure that out: Somehow I lost a lug nut! I happened to go out to the garage and something looked strange. Sure as **** I was missing a lug nut. I was not the last to touch the car the purchasing dealer was. SO I went to O Rilies and they sold me a lug nut that did not look...

    I rotated the tires on my 2lt today. On the rear driver and front passenger there was a few studs that couldn't handle the 100 ft lbs of torque required per the manual's stated torque spec. Two on the rear driver snapped off and two on the passenger front I stopped on from feel before they...

    I bought a set of OEM 17 s ( tires, wheels, caps, sensors) with no lug nuts. The wheels have not arrived but when they do will I be able to mount them on the car using the 16 in. steel wheel lug nuts(temperary) or are they going to be too big to fit in the rim holes and then get a socket over...
