Not really concerned about the wheels having a lock. The car is always garaged and not parked on the street plus if someone wants my wheels bad enough, they will take them regardless of me having a wheel lock. And for that I have insurance. Not to mention the risk of losing the locking key and having to worry about that.
These look promising. With the anti-seize, what torque value do you use? Any issues with them coming loose over time?
They come with instruction for torquing them which worked out to 70 lbs for me
I'll look into these, thanks for the info!
what am I missing ? factory spec is 150 lb/ft.
Oh wise one - is this what you'd suggest for new light weight wheels on ARP extended studs? Something else?
If you're using normal steel lug nuts, you can use the stock torque specs which are correct for clean and dry threads. On any car you can do it that way, or use anti-seize with a reduced torque as described. The latter can be more consistent, especially as threads get dirty/corroded over time.
I'm upgrading my studs to the ARP extended studs, so I'll need open lugs. Wondering what to buy since I swap wheels out often.
One of my favorite upgrades with the ARP studs.
