Key takeaways

  • Torque: 60 ft-lbs, then re-torque to 133 ft-lbs in a star pattern for the 2010 to 2021 model years.
  • Tighten in a star (criss-cross) pattern so the wheel seats flat.
  • Re-check torque after 50 to 100 miles.
  • Aftermarket wheels or lug nuts can specify a different value - use the wheel maker's figure if it differs.
