Changing my front tires out to Q5's this week (thanks to all that helped with my education) and I realized that I don't know what torque to use for mounting them. I tried "feeling" what came from the factory with my torque wrench but (surprise, surprise) there was quite a difference nut to nut. My guess is about 100 ft-lbs but I wonder if this is something that you folks have wrestled with and solved. Any suggestions?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
What is the Lug Nut Torque meant to be?

Frankly, I wouldn't trust the torque values using your method. I had to resort to my DeWalt impact wrench because as I was trying to remove the first lug nut, the wheel started to spin. I'm thinking there is NO WAY it should be THAT tight.

Remember, if you use something like " never-seeze " on the threads ( like I do ) then I'd go with 80lbs. .....JMHO .... Mike :thumbup:

The specs are 80 + or - 3 so you're good to go.
