I've done a little search and couldn't find anything specifically relating to this on the forums, so forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere.
I've just installed the "R Spec" Project6GR wheels onto my 2017 GT350 (which look amazing) and found out that the lug nut holes require the skinny "tuner" style lug nuts. My regular gorilla lug nuts are too fat to fit. So my question to all of you out there with the Project6GR wheels, or any other aftermarket wheel that requires the smaller diameter tuner lug nuts, is what do you torque the lug nuts to? The factory spec for the OEM wheels (R and non R) is 150lbs. But I was told that the tuner lug nuts can't handle that amount of torque because the seats are smaller and that 100lbs is fine.
What are you guys doing and what are your thoughts? Also what brands of tuner lug nuts are the strongest and best for our cars?
Cheers.
ADDENDUM: OK, just found a few threads. But there still seems to be confusion. Some people are saying that 100lbs is more than enough... but others saying that it has to be factory spec 150lbs...
