Depends if you know how to inspect threads and know the difference in wheel lugs otherwise have a technician look at it for you.Curious what torque people are using for their aftermarket wheels/lugs. 130 ft-lbs like stock or something lower?

They also only offer lug nuts for their wheel based on year, make, and modelIf anyone was curious, Method Wheels recommends using the stock torque specs.
As do most truck wheels. Car wheels are more finicky. Unfortunately 95% of the shops your car and trucks go to impact your lug nuts on with no torque stick or torque wrenchIf anyone was curious, Method Wheels recommends using the stock torque specs.
I carry a torque wrench and long breaker bar under the back seat stop in the parking lot before I leave and adjust.As do most truck wheels. Car wheels are more finicky. Unfortunately 95% of the shops your car and trucks go to impact your lug nuts on with no torque stick or torque wrench
A lot of people don’tI carry a torque wrench and long breaker bar under the back seat stop in the parking lot before I leave and adjust.
(in that way you also take inventory of valve caps etc.)
Once more when I get home (if less than 25 miles).View attachment 486118
these don’t take much space under the back seat either
Hopefully that’s a standard and not just when you’re watchingI watch them and ask them to please torque to spec. The two tire stores I go to ( firestone and Discount tires) both use torque sticks and retorque once the veh is on the ground.
