What's the current thinking on copperslip (or the like) on studs before putting "nuts" on?
I suppose expand that question to outside of the nuts too where they interface with the alloy wheel?
Bad idea. It makes accurately setting the torque impossible and can allow your lugs to loosen themselves with vibration. Learned this the hard way I suppose expand that question to outside of the nuts too where they interface with the alloy wheel?
The v8v tightening torque depends on what size nuts are in use....22mm or. 24mm. The settings are different for each... So best to check before getting the torque wrench out...
Somthing I've done in my garage is put up a white board...
Then I've written tyre pressures, wheel torque, service due, mot due dates etc etc for all my cars...
Really useful, a quick glance is all it takes to get the info..

Lubricants used on the thread results in overtorqueing the nut and thereby overstressing the lug. Torques are based on clean, dry threads at assembly.I suppose expand that question to outside of the nuts too where they interface with the alloy wheel?
