I am about to rotate my tires for the first time today and i was wondering what the torgue specs in ft pounds were for my evo

 

87fp

 

I thought it was 90. Mitsu told me 90. Oh well 87 and 90 same thing not like it will matter.

 

I forget, but it is in the owners manual.

 

I doubt it would be in the owners manual they usually dont list torque specs. Youll have to refer to the factory repair manual for that.

 

i rocked 87 ft lbs nothing fell off yet so we got our selves a winner thanks guys

 

I just tighten them untill they don't move.

 

From the manual I have for my '03 . . .

70-80 ft-lbs is standard for a 12mm stud

 

i always go 83-85 ft-lbs

 

yeah you dont want to over torque it..
i had my car balanced at a shop and they used the impact gun..and when i took off one of the rear wheel and trying to put it back on, wheel stud got cross threaded..
damn tire shops they dont know what they are doing!
time for me to go to dealer and pick up a few studs...

 

...

 

80 lb-feet is right in the middle of the recommended range.

 

It is, see post #8
