Wheel Torque Specifications

Get the exact wheel lug torque for your vehicle, measured in foot-pounds (ft-lbs), to ensure a safe, even install.

Why wheel torque matters

Proper torque evenly clamps the wheel to the hub. Under‑ or over‑tightening can lead to vibration, warped rotors, damaged studs, or a loose wheel. Always torque to your vehicle manufacturer’s specification.

Bolt pattern and offset basics

If you’re shopping wheels, you can filter by bolt pattern, size, and offset. For example, the Fuel Cleaver D574 wheels come in 17"–22" diameters with common 5-, 6-, and 8‑lug patterns and offsets from ‑12 to +20, in gloss black milled or chrome finishes. They’re a strong, one‑piece cast aluminum design with a bold, twisted‑spoke look.

Tire pressure basics

For the correct tire pressure, use the automaker’s recommendation on your driver‑door placard or in your owner’s manual. Recheck pressure periodically and whenever the weather swings; colder temperatures can reduce pressure and may require topping off back to the placard spec. If you’re unsure, stop by and we’ll help you measure and adjust.
