Wheel Torque Question
Sorry if this isn't the forum thread for this, but I just put on summer wheels back on my NX and noticed the specs indicate 76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m), which I hadn't noticed seeing as I had the winter wheels installed at the garage. I've never owned a vehicle with wheel torque this low so is this common with most Lexus models? Most of my previous vehicles were always around 90-95 ft/lbs range which is the only reason I'm questioning this, so just need reassurance.

In my ownership of various Toyota/Lexus models since 1998, the wheel torque has always been 76 ft lbs. I round up to 80 ft lbs (about the accuracy of a typical consumer torque wrench anyway).

For a Japanese car, having a lug torque in the 70-80 range is normal. To be up in the higher range 90-110, that is typically GM or the other American brands.

My 2010 Acura TL was 94 ft lbs.
