what is the toque specs for the lug nuts on 97 venge es. Also, I have the front wheels off and I lost track of left and right. I don't see any difference in tire wear or shape......so does it really make any difference?

lugs should always be torqued on to ensure even distribution of pressure. i know mine needs to be torqued to 45-50lbs, i would imagine yours wouldnt be much different

I knew they needed to be torqued, I just wanted to make sure I knew a ballpark area of how much. I wanna make sure I get this right, as I plan on milking every mph from this car.  |

45/50 sounds pretty light IMO  |

65/70 was what was in my manual and what i learned when i was in college, NOT 45/50. that was my mistake ppl, sorry!  diff wheels require diff torques, stock wheels should be around 70lbs. aftermarket wheels require more (mostly just to cover their own a$$) but i guess i shoulda asked stock or aftermarket before i put in my 2 cents, sorry |

well, these are american racing estrella 17" aluminum wheels. I think I'll go with 65 or so. Thanks for the numbers!

I'm with Bad Venge on this one. I always torque mine to 90 and I have aftermarket wheels anything below that, I think is too little.

yes 75 to 90 ft-lbs. I would stay with the lower number due to the fact that you probably don't calibrate your torque wrench as often as it should.
(I calibrate my tools now every 6 months) as they are typically out of spec after 1 year or less.

I put em down at 85 and it felt pretty good, so there it is.

I usually just torque them "to feel"... tight enough..
Don't got a torque wrench.

slightly related question.
How simple is it to change a wheel stud on the Avenger?

I've done this. You have to soak the old stud in as much wd-40 or whatever as possible. Then you have to beat the living hell out of it, it comes out the back. When you pull the new one through you will need to find a way to keep it straight. I used a few closed wrenches between the hub and the lug nut to pull it through until its straight. A new stud is about 3 bucks at autozone, btw.
