Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 100 ft-lb after 50 miles of driving to ensure proper seating.
- ✅ Avoid using wheels with a smaller center bore than 70.3mm; they will not fit without machining.
- ✅ Check for clearance with the brake calipers and suspension when using wheels with offset below 47mm or above 57mm.
- ⚠️ Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
