Aftermarket wheel torque
I purchased American Racing ATX artillery rims and put them on my truck myself. Per instructions torqued to factory specs of 150-165. Recently had new tires installed by a local off-road shop and they torqued them to 115ft lbs because they stated that the aftermarket rim has a conical seat and will damage the rim if it's torqued to the factory value. Thoughts?

How does the seat look now? You can pull a lug nut off and examine it.
If you damaged it the first time you put them on you should see the taper all gouged of deformed |
Rims look fine. And have for the last 4 rotations. I also called wheel pros the maufacturer of the rims and they stated use factory specs. So I'll be going out and re-torquing to factory.

Was it 4 Wheel Parts? They did the same thing to me years ago. I have been running factory specs without any issues.

are the lugs rated for the proposed torques?
