# What torque spec should I use for my lug nuts?
## Always follow your vehicle's recommended torque specs and hand-tighten lug nuts first to ensure proper centering and avoid damage during installation.
When installing your wheels, using the correct torque specifications is very important for both safety and performance.
You can find your vehicle’s recommended torque specs in your owner’s manual or by contacting your local dealership. Since torque requirements vary by vehicle, always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
For best results, we recommend tightening your lug nuts using hand tools. This helps ensure the wheel is properly centered and evenly secured. While power tools may seem quicker, they can sometimes over-tighten or damage the lug nuts and studs, which may lead to issues down the road.
Taking a few extra minutes to install your wheels properly helps protect your vehicle and ensures everything performs exactly as it should. If you ever have questions about installation, we’re always happy to help.
