Wheel torque specs?

Anyone know the torque specs for the TRD aluminum wheels? The owners manual says 154 ft/lb but I think thats for the steel spare tire. I think the aluminum wheels are 97 ft/lb but really cant find anything in any of the forums.

 

That's correct. 97 ft-lb for Aluminum wheels and 154 for steelies.

 

Thank you sir!

 

I've got 95# written down in the shop so the 97# should be it as they give a range of about 5# or so.

 

I initially thought the torque was 154# ofor my Tundra and used that for years to set my torque wrench. A guy at the dealership set me straight. Meh, since the techs use air wrenches to tighten the lug nuts I don't think I did much harm compared to what they would have. I tried to loosen a lug nut on my wife's Highlander they had tightened and I couldn't do it by jumping up and down on a 2' breaker bar. I took it back and had them redo it with my torque wrench set to her specs. At least we can change a tire on the side of the Interstate while 16 wheelers zip by.

 

97lbs is correct. I set my wrench to 100 and call it close enough. When I swapped over to my PRO wheels, I had a hard time taking loosening the lugs the dealer installed when they installed my new steering rack. Ended up using a Milwaukee Impact gun to get them loose.
