Replying to: pjk1 (Jan 08, 2008 3:03 pm) i would - you should know the proper torque and tighten the lug nuts accordingly - if too loose you could have a wheel fall off - if too tight you could warp the brake rotors and it makes it tough to get the wheels of for the next service....

Replying to: fred63 (Jan 08, 2008 5:54 pm) 65-80 lb-ft, according to hmaservice.com. This seems like a wide range, but I'm no expert. I told my mechanic to use 75.
