Lug Nut torque setting for Porsche wheels
Hi all; I've done a search and I cannot find this answer. Tomorrow I'm switching my 18 inch winter tires/wheels for my 19's for the first time by myself! My question is what psi setting do I set my torque wrench at for tightening the lug nuts?
Thanks in advance.
Ken

96 ft/lbs for torquing the lug nuts. Psi is a different issue all together.

Thanks. I just found the answer in the manual. I thought it was called pounds per square inch (I'm a beginner) and that's what was throwing me off.

For reference, the PSI (for the stock setup) can be found on the label in the door sill.

Wheel size or style doesn't matter. The torque setting for Porsche lug nuts & lug bolts has been 96 ft/lbs for as long as I can remember (a long time) .

I am not trying to be a smart-*** here, but there is a lot of great information in that manual. I would recommend a cover to cover reading. It won't take long and I guarantee you will have at least one "no s_ _ t" moment during the read-through.

There is a manual that can! It is called the Porsche Shop manual, which is available from the Porsche website
