![]() ![]() ![]() As for dedicated winter tires, if you go that direction, I would go for Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 or Nokian Hakka's, they both come in the stock 215/45/18 size. I would rathar run 17's and have a better all around All-Season tire. For tires there arent many All-Season tires in 18 inch,I would go with Bridgestone Potenza RE 960 Pole Position in 225/45/18, They are Ultra-High Preformance All-Season, but since they are UHP-AS tires they will only hold up in light snow.they are pretty expensive, a little over $200 a tire, but you dont really have a choice for good All-Season tires in 18 inch. But if you over torque then you risk doing a lot of damage to your lugs.I like the gunmetal wheels, those or the high polish wheels would be my pick, the look eaqually awesome. The main thing is that it isn't gonna come off. so 85 ft/lbs will prolly work just fine, hell 75 ft/lbs would prolly be fine. But in all honesty as far as your lugs go, you can prolly get away with a lot less, just make sure you don't go over 100. I know that rant wasn't exactly what you were asking for so here's my answer.It says in the manual that the lug torque is 100 ft/lbs and it is always best to try to follow any torque specs that they call for. So I'm pretty sure it'll work for you too It's a major pain in the ass, and a lot of times a major pain on the hand, but it works, it always passes breakaway torque, and is a method that our quality assurance guys will pass when they do their inspections. so we usually do the method with the line on all the nuts we can reach and get an average distance that equals the proper torque and when we get to the ones that are harder to access we draw a line and throw a slugging wrench on it and start pounding till it all lines up. These are just little tricks I've picked up at my job,theres a lot of times we have to torque a nut down to a few hundred (or sometimes a few thousand ft/lbs) and it is just physically impossible to get a torque wrench in there. You just know that once you got it tight you need to turn it appx 1/4 turn around and it'll be just about right. ![]() maybe a quarter turn, a half a turn or whatever, but if you can remember this you don't need to always have a torque wrench to maintain proper torque. after you torque your lugs down the line will be offset. Another trick is to take a marker and draw a line across your lug and onto your rim. Start using your normal wrench every time, and check your work with the torque wrench, eventually you'll have the "feel" of how tight it should be. I torque to oone hundred ft/lbs +/- 5 ft/lbs using my calibrated arm D The real trick is to use a torque wrench the first few times then start using a breaker bar or a wrench that is appx the same length as your torque wrench was.
