[DeTomaso] WHAT IS THE TORQUE FOR WHEEL LUG NUTS

[Jo De Tomaso]

I have always used 90Nm on Aluminium rims, 110 Nm on steel rims. Even for
drifting I have used these, never ever had a problem.
90Nm translates to around 66.4 Ft.lbs?

     The factory shop manual is wrong, likely an incorrect conversion
     from some obscure metric measurement like newton-hectares to proper
     ft/lbs. I think it falls for only 43 ft-lbs which is downright
     dangerous.
     I use 75-80 ft/lbs.
