I just got my new Work Emotion wheels and those nice aluminum lug nuts. Does anyone know how much torque to put on them? The Subaru manual calls for 58 to 72 lb/ft. I don't want to damage them or worse, come off while I'm driving.

I use 85 lb/ft on my nuts.

Are your lug nuts aluminum? 85 seems like a lot.

I use 75-78 on mine.

*waits for imprezer to say "no, my nuts are made of steel"*


hahahahahaha i'm sorry, I can't stand laughing at this thread.. 72 pounds is pretty sufficient for everyday driving.

Yes, my nuts are aluminum. But they are long type so I got about 1" of thread. I have been doing this for over 3 years now so its all good.

Thank you all for the info that I needed. By the way, my metal of choice for "those" nut would be brass.
