Do many people really torq the wheel nuts? Is "as done up as tight as you can get with the supplied tool" not good enough any more?

The bentley manual only covers G60 & VR6 not my KR

are the VR's and G60's different?! if so add them both together and divide by 2. honestly a good tighten, maybe a little jump on the wheel spanner should do. As long as they arn't finger tight!!!

I've never taken any bolt off that would need it to be honest.

 

However I do know plenty of people that have taken a wheel off that don't (including garages, but then if anything they do them up to tight) - they just do the whole put your weight on the tyre iron (ooo, I've turned American) thing.

If you let a garage put your wheels on that way then good luck to you. I for one wouldn't.!!

Thats a sure fire way to weaken the wheel nuts / do damage to the alloys. :nono:

There's no need to do wheel bolts that tight.

I didn't know it was an issue, and to be honest I'm still not convinced that wheel nuts need to be done to a specific torq. But then, each to there own.

 

Oh, it was three different garages I had in mind hence I didn't think it was unusual. GCS, Elite and National.
