What they ^^^ both said.
I think the manual says 120-150 if I'm not mistaken
Wait till someone chimes in on this

Hmmphh dont quote me..just going by my dealer, but who knows how true that is! Maybe go higher to be on the safe side, just not to tight...I wouldnt go over 140 or 150

You sure?
I think little Prius torque more than that
I just saw the manual yesterday and it said (if I can recall) 120-150. There was certainly a range
I think this sounds about right.

If you are using acorn lugnuts then it is lugcentric and rings are not needed. **** cepek wheels are the same way and I ran them on my old 2500HD GMC and never had an issue, even when pulling gooseneck trailers. 3/4 ton trucks are torqued to 140ft/lbs. If you have a 1/2 ton I would torque to around 120ft/lbs. Hell, old 70's and 80's GM trucks are only torqued to 85lbs. Re-check your torque after 50 miles and your good.

Mines a 1/2 ton so I'll go bout 120-130 then. The wheels were shipped with the lug covers on, are all those cap head screws used to hold the covers on? If not, how do I tell which ones do? Thanks

Its only two screws holding it on, they should all spin though, you will feel the two that come off they are tighter.
