What torque to set aluminum wheels at?

[rms492]

Hello, I have American Racing wheels, what torque to I set the lug nuts at?

I think for factory wheels, it says 55 ft. lb..seems low for me, given that many of today's modern cars are in the 70-80 ft. lb range.

thanks

Its based on the size of the wheel stud too. But aluminum is a bit tighter.

My blue point wheel torque says 95 - 100 lbs. For all Plymouth cars to 1989 with 1/2 inch studs. But doesn't differentiate between aluminum or steel.

7/16 wheel stud 75 lbs, 1/2 wheels stud 85.
