Questions on installed stud conversion

to///m · 04-25-2014, 12:18 PM

So i have some Forgestar F14 SDC's on order that will hopefully come in some time this year and i decided to do a stud conversion. I got the 45mm MS studs with the Blox open-ended lugs (i like that look with the F14's).

When i was installing the studs, i obviously used the tread-locker that came with them, and hand tightened them down with a 5mm hex wrench. I tried to search for some kind of tq specs, but didnt find anything. I just want to make sure im safe, does anyone know a safe torque spec for these?

Here are some pics with my OEM wheels, i cant wait for the SDC's!

I believe Vorshlag recommends 30ftlbs for their stud kit. I just tightened till snug and used loctite. Check periodically to make sure they don't loosen up.

16 ft/lbs is what Turner Motorsport Recommends (I believe) but a little tighter is no big deal.
