Re: studs breaking off
How many turns of the nut does it take to install the nut fully onto the shaft with the wheel installed?
Our stock wheel nuts turn about 15.5 turns to fully seat against our stock wheels. Whats a life?
Ideally you want 12mm of engagement for a 12mm diameter bolt/stud/nut.
It takes 9.6 turns to have a nut fully engaged.
If your wheel nuts take fewer turns it puts more stress on the engaged threads.
Are you using a capped nut, or an open nut?
An open nut will allow water and salt to enter easier than a capped nut.
BTW, stock is 69-83 ft/lb.
