    Silly question... I don't have access to my owners manual. What size socket do I need for the lugs? Torque specs?

    I happened to have my owner's manual at work when I saw this thread. I couldn't find the torque spec.

    I do remember you sparking a hot topic on wheel bolt torque years ago when you almost lost your car and life.

    If anyone should know the importance of proper torque values it is you.

    Dont go by the manual. Ask the guys that work at the track on these cars and they will tell you that the manual underestimates the torque. Many wheels have come off at those numbers and many shops are now torquing to 100.
