Question Wheel torque spec

I did a search but the only thing that came up was for the Evo X. Does anyone know what the torque spec is for RA wheels? The Evo guys say theirs is 73lb/ft +- 7lb/ft. I looked in the manual but it doesn't say anything about torque.

80 ft/lbs and call it a day. it really doesn't need to be too precise, you could torque them at a 100 they won't break.

anywhere between 80 - 100 lb/ft will be fine. though the actual spec is 80 like mentioned above

I just do 80. It is a nice round number.

snug plus 1/8th-1/4 of an inch always worked for me if you don't have a TQ wrench. that's in the 80-100 ft lb range with a 1/2" drive socket wrench.

turning bolts often enough you'll get a feel for what's 20 ft lbs and what's 50, 60, 80, 100 etc. it's always snug plus a small degree.

More importantly it's making sure all the lugs are at the same torque, and that the wheel doesn't fall off...
