Anyone with Black Rhino Armory wheels who rotates their own tires - I would really appreciate your input here. (I have a 2020 2-Door Sport, 17” wheels)
Maybe my Googling skills need work or something, but I can’t find any solid info on what I should torque my lug nuts to. I checked the torque before I rotated my tires (a dealership mechanic was the last to touch them) and they read 76 ft/lbs.
I have a mechanic friend who has a Ram with different wheels by Black Rhino, and he torques them to manufacturer’s specs which is 130 ft/lbs. He said 76ft/lbs. sounds really low. I’m pretty sure these Armory wheels are an aluminum alloy, and I don’t want to over-torque and damage the lug wells or something, so in the end I went with 80 ft/lbs.
I went for a drive after I was finished and checked my torque afterwards - all good, still at 80 ft/lbs. This seems like it should be just fine, but I would really like to hear what others with the same setup are doing. Any input is appreciated!
