New Rims

TAGATTRACTER · Apr 20, 2011

Just picked up some new rims for the truck. Anyone know how much to torque the nuts ?

NVBighorn · Apr 20, 2011

I'd go about 6 inch-lbs

Torque them enough to make the rotors warp then crank them another 50 more. Hope this helps.

I have never put a torque wrench on a set of car/truck wheels...

Thanks NV. Those other guys better look again. Lol.

No problem TnA. I would also recommend retorquing them every day. I forgot to mention, run them all on finger tight evenly first. Then follow up with the impact wench, and then finish them off with the torque wench.

Do you recommend using any kind of lube or just do it dry?

BuckSnort · Apr 20, 2011

Only a real Prick would sport them rims..

F'er, I just usually put a little spit on 'em to get 'em started.

Half ton trucks you usually torque the to 90-100 ftlbs.

Call a tire shop, they should be able to tell you off hand. If not don't go to that tire shop anymore.

Re torque them after 50 miles then check periodically.

Buncha Plicks!!!

Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?

That's a hard question to answer..... What kind of head do you have on those nuts? ...... I hate to stiff you with a wrong answer but unless you have the right tool you are shafted..... Terry

Man I didn't think you'd have the balls to post that. You're nuts!

That's better guys. I knew I could count on you. They really match the Truck Nutz on the reciever.

AZStickman · Apr 20, 2011

Is that a brake leak or are you just glad to see me?..... Terry

Be careful! They are nothing to d###k around with!

zekers · Apr 20, 2011

Just make sure after you torque them, you drive the hell out of them. If those rims don't get used, they'll turn blue.

Looks like a MM circle jerk.

I want to know how you where able to get a picture of my rims ? When I ordered them from " Big Johnson rim job company " I was assured they would be attention getters . I can see now though that they need to be polished up a bit .
