As the title says, how much torque does it need to properly secure the lug nuts if I was to follow Mazda specs?
Thinking about getting a torque wrench just to be safe, I don't want to break the rims or for it to fly out as I'm driving.

Thanks

i can't remember the exact numbers. i think it's something like 65 to 80 ft/lbs. if you torque them down to around 75 ft/lbs you'll be good

Yep I use 76 lbs.

I torqued mine to 80 ft pounds.

shit i read on the sticky some where that the torque is 87 flt/lb.... I have aftermarket tuner lug nuts and one of the lug nut fell off last week.. Maybe this could be the reason. Next time i will remember to torque it to 80!!! or maybe 75..

I use 80

80-90.

HaHa...I went to the dealership the other day to have them check the torque on my lugnuts after my exhaust shop tightened them all for me.

140lbs+ FTW!

Go by what tireguy says...
