Hi all, I'm new to the fender world, I have just changed the Tyres and wheels on my 89' 90, from standard alloys to my old 300tdi alloys with new mud Tyres on, can anyone please tell me the correct torque on the wheel nuts please, they are the alloy capped ones?
Thanks
Oli
 
tighten mine til they squeal, which is just enough to put a bit of flex in a breaker bar.........any more and you'll never get the buggers off at the side of the road

Hi thanks for the replies, I went with 95/96 ftlb, I have noticed a bit of wheel wobble now though, when jacked up and the wheel spun, in one spot it deviates outwards by 10-20 mm and when at speed it wobbles how can this be rectified?? Cheers
