Default Correct Torque Specs

I just recently got a pair of Weld Draglites for my fox. I know the torque specs on a regular wheel is 100lbs. Is this the same on the draglights?

I would think so, but check their website for them.

Thanks Jazzer, I went on their site & it was not very helpful. I tried to submit my question by email & the form freezes, so not sure if it went thru??

I did do some research on the web & most folks/forums recommend 80 to 85lbs for the Welds....fyi in case others have the same question.

Thanks Mikee

If the question comes up again, I will refer them to a search for this post (because I will forget )

yes the torque specs will be the same which is 100 lbs. also you will want to re-torque them after 50-100 mles of driving to ensure they are tight..

Good point, koston

Both of my sets of wheels wiggled semi-loose over the first couple weeks. I was reminded when I heard this little "crackling" sound when rolling very slow in parking lots.
