These are the international editions of Porsche’s owner’s manuals; a car sold in another country comes with that country’s edition, so check yours. Read on Porsche’s own site on October 24, 2026. Years not listed haven’t been checked yet, or their manual prints no value; check your own manual.
How to tighten them
- Clean any dirt or rust off the central nut, its thread and the wheel’s mounting face. Don’t oil them unless the manual says to.
- Thread the central nut on by hand until it seats against the wheel.
- Lower the vehicle so the tire takes its weight, and set a torque wrench to 479 lb-ft (650 N·m).
- Tighten the central nut until the wrench clicks. There’s one per wheel, so there’s no pattern to follow; few wrenches reach that torque, so check yours does.
- Check the torque again after a short drive if your manual says to.

Questions
What is the lug nut torque on a Porsche 918 Spyder?
479 lb-ft (650 N·m), as printed in Porsche’s owner’s manual (2015).
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.
