Torque Specs for Magnums and Steelies

[kev5696]

Hi all, I've done searches, but can't seem to find this info. Does anybody have the torque specs for Magnum 500's(road wheels) and 15" steelies for a '68 Road Runner? Thanks!

I just put on a set of tires on my stock magnum 500... His book had them at 100lbs. ..I thought it was a little high so we did it at 85...

I did mine until my elbow clicked, but I really need to get a torque wrench on them. Only drove it a few miles, so I'll check it out tomorrow.

I only could torque one side ....Had left /right hand threads.....Torque wrench only goes one way.....

I always go 90 # on lug nuts. And after driving it a day or two, I re torque them.

You guys need this ratchet that goes on breaker bars and torque wrenches. I use mine all the time because it ratchets both ways.

i think factory spec for 1/2"-20 studs is 65lbft. over tightening a fastner is a no no.

Where did you get that?

This might help. Look at the Dodge and Chrysler specs. Nothing as old as ours, but same size fasteners. http://www.dormanproducts.com/catalog/hardware2006/191-196_Sec10_Part11.pdf
