Without turning this into a rant post regarding my hatred of aftermarket custom wheels, how do I determine the correct lug nut torque for oversized, aftermarket custom wheels.
For example, let's say in a hypothetical situation that the factory lug nut spec was 85 ft-lbs for a 16" wheel. The owner decides to install 20" wheels and tires.
1. Do I still adhere to the factory lug nut specifications? If not, how do I determine how tight I should tighten the lug nuts?
2. What is the correct tire pressure for the vehicle now that the tire/wheel size has changed?
Thanks.
