thoughts on forged aluminum lug nuts on an aluminum rim....anything to be worried about?

Brian MP5T · February 15th, 2012, 10:07 PM

I have Works 7076 Aluminium lugs on Works Rims.

The torque is important... It must be low and equal or you will wreck them instantly.

I think last year I was running 62 Ft/Lbs

mp3t · February 16th, 2012, 09:37 AM

Is it different for each setup or am I safe going with a 60 or 62 ft/lbs?

Brian MP5T · February 16th, 2012, 02:36 PM

It is based on the manufacturers recommendation.

I'm going with a d1 spec 7075 forged aluminum but they have no torque specifications

Brian MP5T · February 16th, 2012, 08:23 PM

Ok, then I suggest you go with a spec similar to the Work ones..

I did 50 all around, then 62...

Never had one back off, but I checked often initially.

Okay im hoping to get a pic update this weekend but I also was wondering since I had to drill out 2 studs...On prots can you just replace studs without replacing the whole hub?
