Simple question- What is correct lug nut torque?
I have a 1973 911T with genuine Fuchs 6x15 wheels. The owners manual says the wheel lug nut torque is 101 lb-ft (I think), but it shows a picture of a steel wheel. So, what is the correct torque for a Fuchs wheel? And does it matter if the lug nuts are steel or alloy? Thank you, Gary

94-96 foot pounds for the aluminum lugs on fuchs wheels...be sure to use a bit of never-seeze on the rounded face of the lug nuts,and torque in a "staggered" pattern...skip every other nut until done.
