Wheel or car manufacturer torque spec ?

Post by Rombbb » Sun Mar 03, 2019 5:19 pm

Hi,

I have BBS CH alloys and was wondering whether the lug bolts should go with BMW's torque spec or if there could be a different spec applicable from BBS ?

Lug bolts I guess are still BMW made, but the wheel material of course is non BMW so not sure what spec to use for correct tightening.

Maybe there's no difference at all, don't know, but thought just popped my mind and couldn't find anything relevant quickly online.

Thanks !

The bmw torque setting is 120nm, I’d stick with that even with aftermarket wheels :thumbsup:

Thanks!

Is that 120nm for all Z4's ? I have the M.

I can look it up, but if you know by head I'd be much obliged 8)
