Proper torque for lug nuts on Stock PPL2 wheels?

[Stang 19]

Finally installing new tires on my 19 performance package level 2. Does anyone know the stock and correct torque value for the Lug nuts?

Not to be a smart ass, but it’s in the owners manual. And yes, 150 is correct. This has become even more entertaining than an oil thread. Not saying that because you asked the question, but because of the peeps that are about to jump on here and tell you that’s too high and why they disregard the recommended spec for a lower value because it “feels better”. Just wait, it’s coming, LOL.

Every time I swap out summer and winter my mechanic asks "you want that crazy high torque setting right"?

I won't complain because they swap them out by hand without air tools and uses a torque wrench.

I went 140ft lbs double clicked on the torque wrench. Manual does say 150ft lbs though.

150 is correct. I’ve swapped wheels a hundred times and 150 is good to go. The lug nuts are very large diameter so they require more torque to get the same clamping force, its more than most places expect.

150lbs Always.
