What is the recommended torque setting for alloy wheels on a '94 Honda Accord? I've been told 80 ft. lbs. but need to confirmed. By the way, can someone recommend a reliable torque wrench that isn't going to cost me $$$? I was thinking about buying one from Sears since they have it on sale.

Or how about this wrench:

Strange how craftsman tools are well known for their lifetime warrenty on their hand tools but not torque wrenches.

Thanks!

 

80 ft/lb

And yes, the torque wrench from Sears works fine. Just do NOT drop them (they can break fairly easily) and always remember to set them back down to 0 (zero) when you are finished (keeping them under a load wears them out and makes them inaccurate). Just read the directions that come with them.

 

I never really torque to a spec (although maybe I should). I get the bolts on there tight enough to secure things ... but not over done. If the lugs are too tight, then you won't be able to get them off in case of an emergency.

Yeah just don't drop the clickable torque wrenches. Bar torque wrenches > *
They're less fancy but are indestructible. You drop a click type torque wrench and you could mess the settings up without even knowing it.

 

Sure, if you like to try and get your body in funky positions to be able to see the reading when tightening bolts.

I've got both the 3/8 and 1/2 Craftsman ones, I'm a fan.

 

Thanks all for your advise and replies...
