The OE spec from the user manual below, is what ive been using :

Tighten every second nut
until all five nuts are
tightened. Tighten all wheel
nuts in two stages.

1. To 80 Nm in one
continuous movement.

2. To 180 Nm in one
continuous movement

Thanks, I saw the OM stated two different torque`s depending on 21 or 22mm nuts. I`ll use the 180Nm.

As Bogie says for 21mm nuts, (which mine and most are)


from the horses mouth.

Never seen that detailed breakdown, I have an early manual from my 2006 Vantage and a 2012 manual from current car.

I understand why titanium is different , but where did the 21 vs 22mm nuts get fitted ? ...on which wheels or model years ?

I've not seen the 22mm either and I thought the earlier cars were 21mm. Interweb says up to MY08 22mm.

Not sure why 21mm should be twice the price. (20 quid v 10)
