torque spec for wheels?

[helmus]

Hey all. Who knows the recommended torque spec for bmw wheels? I've been cranking them down @ 100ft/lbs but not sure if that's too much or too little. Thanks.

In my experience 80-100 ft/lbs is fine for most cars. I torque my dad's porsche wheels down to 100 and I've never had any problems on my cars using that spec. Overtorquing wheels however can lead to warped brake rotors.

I think BMW recommends for most models around 85 - 88 ft lb.

88 is recomended BMW and the RMA they put out a torque chart for every vehicle made but if ur torque wrench reads in 5 or 10 90ft lbs should be fine
