100 ft lbs is the correct wheel torque for wheel lug nuts on Corvette. Allthebest, |

HI there, There are 2 real reasons for correct wheel lug nut torque. First, correct torque will NOT crush the lug nuts onto the wheel. This can lead to stud stress, aluminum rim deformation and stripped lug nut threads. Second, so that the wheel doesnt fall off. GM will tell you that you can either use a torque limiting stick on an impact wrench, or you can hand torque them in 3 steps to 100 ft lbs. That is all you need. Althebest, c4c5 |

Torque stick is what I have always used. I have double checked with a torque wrench many times, and the sticks were always dead accurate. Good to know GM approves of it, not all manufacturers will tell you it's ok to use one.
