Hi All, anyone know if the stock 7/16 wheel studs can safely take the lug nuts
being torqued to more than the 48 lbs. ft specified in the shop manual if one
is now using aftermarket wheels and lug nuts? Torque charts today say to go to
70-80 ft. pounds on 7/16 studs. Maybe the 48 lbs. ft. stock figure is due to
limits imposed by strength of the OEM nut or wheel rather than stud strength?
Cheers, Gene
