BrianZ06 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I just recently installed a set of H2 Hummer wheels on my work truck and was curious what torque setting you would go with. Discount tire says Hummer H1/H2 2003-05 140 ft-lbs Would it be the same for my truck ? I never thought about it but what determines the setting number the vehicle or the wheel itself ? More the wheel I suppose. http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/000_0983.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/000_0981.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyster101 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have never checked torque settings on wheels. Good way to warp rotors or stretch studs. I would go with the stock torque settings for the truck. The torque settings are based off the strength and stretching characteristics of the studs. Usually there will not be damage if you do over torque them a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Torque settings are more for the rim than anything else. An alloy rim can't take a nut being tightened to 190 but a steel rim can just fine. I would just stick with the stock setting for that particular rim.
