Wheel Stud question
 
Before I replace the lug bolts on my 986 with studs and nuts, I have a couple questions you may be able to help out with.
1) I will (or whatever instructions say) put the studs in at 25ftlbs with red or blue lock tight. Is that enough to keep them from backing out when the nut going on the stud might be 85-95ftlbs?
2) Any reason I shouldn’t just go all in and use the red lock tight?
3) would the ftlbs on the nut be the same as the lug bolt (OE) at 96 ftlbs?
Thanks.

I have them on my Cayman. 25ft-lbs is fine since I don't think there's a real stop, just the end of the threads. I used red locktite. Yes on the lug nut torque.

Thanks
I honestly might have asked this question before. I’m having trouble lately remembering what I have and haven’t done.
So it sounds like they won’t back out,

Red Loctite. If you need to remove them, you can heat it with a torch, to melt the Loctite.

Get two lug nuts, run them on the stud and install the stud.
