When installing my WinLites last week i noticed the torque specs on their site and thought they seem a little low (85-95ft lbs). That seen right to you guys?

The torque should be entirely dependent on studs (bolts in general in any bolted joint) as it is a mean to achieve appropriate clamp (which is really what you want). So if you have OEM studs, no, it doesn't seem right at all.

Then it should be 150.

My guess is they recommend that number because it's what Mustangs (and most other cars up until now) have been right at or under 100. They probably don't have the updated data that these cars now take 150.

If they don't recommend going to 150 because it would be too much for the wheels themselves, then IMO I would not run those as they are clearly not made for this car.

I keep seeing 150, is that dry or lightly greased?
