Hello all,

Not wishing to beat around the bush... one of my friends has a Mk3 Astra and is concerned about the torque settings on his wheels... I believe its a 1600 and it's got steel rims.

I've offered to check them for him, but have had no luck in tracking down a reliable torque setting figure... one place I looked quoted 250ftlb, which to me sounds ridiculous (as my car is only 85 ftlb) and I don't want to overtigthen them for obvious reasons...

Any help would be most appreciated, either in ftlb or Nm... Cheers smile
