Torque Specs for Lug Nuts
I have a 2003 F150 FX4 with 17" cast aluminum wheels. I recently purchased a new air compressor with impact gun. Does anyone know the torque specs for these wheels so that I don't overtighten the lugs?

I believe it's around 95 ft-lbs. There are "torque sticks" that are made for use with impact guns that will break the torque when it reaches a certain range. I've seen the 80-100 lb "stick" used on lug nuts. I personally never use an impact for final tightening and always use a torque wrench to make sure I don't go over.

If you have 12mm studs, it's 100 ft. lbs, if you have 14mm studs, it's 130 ft. lbs.

Ranger got it on the nose. Alot of the time at our shop we give them an extra ten lbs. Just a little added assurance. :D

The shop manual that I have says 150 ft.lb. for the 14 mm studs.

I doublechecked the chart at work, racerguy you are right, it is 150 lbs for 14 mm studs.
