Lug Nut Torque Specs
I just changed wheels and tires on the 18 RS and was shocked to find out that Chevrolet reccomend 140 ft lbs torque on lug nuts...Why so high? Most other cars are 80-90 ft lbs.

The size of the fastener dictates the torque spec (kinda sorta)

The mass of 20" rims needs to be tight.
Lots of physics going on. |
