What do you guys use on your after market wheels? I know the OEM wheels are about 75 lbs. Konig wheels spec are 90 lbs.:confused: Will that be too much specially for the rear wheel bearings?
Thanks

I torque all wheels to 95 ft/lbs... No it will not be a problem...

Kwren, I get the feeling people got confused as to axle nuts and lug nuts at some time and will swear that overtorquing the lugs causes wheel bearing failure... if anything it can help warp the brakes... but wheel bearings, I severely doubt it

Surely, I felt the same way when someone had said it... Never understood the logic either:)
