How to tighten them

  1. Clean any dirt or rust off the studs, the nuts and the wheel’s mounting face. Don’t oil them unless the manual says to.
  2. Thread every nut on by hand until it seats against the wheel.
  3. Lower the vehicle so the tire takes its weight, and set a torque wrench to the value for your model year and version in the table above.
  4. Tighten the nuts in a star pattern, going around two or three times, until the wrench clicks on every nut.
  5. Check the torque again after a short drive if your manual says to.

Questions

What is the lug nut torque on a Nissan GT-R?

97 lb-ft (132 N·m) for 2013–2014, 2015–2020 (Except NISMO), 2021 (Except NISMO, Track Edition, T-spec and NISMO Special Edition), 2023–2024 (Except NISMO, T-spec and NISMO Special Edition); 114 lb-ft (155 N·m) for 2015–2020 (NISMO), 2021 (NISMO, Track Edition, T-spec and NISMO Special Edition), 2023–2024 (NISMO, T-spec and NISMO Special Edition), as printed in Nissan’s owner’s manuals (2013–2021, 2023–2024).

Can I use an impact wrench?

Not to finish. An impact wrench can’t set a torque and easily overshoots it, which stretches studs. Run the nuts down by hand or lightly, then finish with a torque wrench in a star pattern.

Should I oil the studs?

Not unless the manual says so. Torque values assume clean, dry threads; oil lets the same torque stretch the stud further. Some manuals, Kia’s and Mazda’s among them, say to keep oil and grease off wheel nuts and bolts altogether.
