Erco wheels nut torque

Just picked up a set of erco wheels and wondered what to torque the nuts too?

Thanks Paul

The torque has nothing to do with the wheels.  It's the size of the stud that determines what torque you need.

I would disagree, tightening torque could be limited by the stress induced in the wheel.

I went with this in the end

ERCO wheels have straight holes that require a lug nut with a flat washer on it.  You will break the stud long before you exceed the yield point of the aluminum due to compression stresses.
