Hi
I have BRMs all the way around, been searching thru this site and cannot find the “answer”. Need to know in ft/lbs the torque. I have drums on rear and Air cooled industries disc on front. Are they to be the same? I am using lug/bolts and they are the correct 60 degree. I just need to know how tight. And just for giggles some day I may go to studs, would they be the same spec?
THX for your time…

The torque is generally based on the thread size. I used the same torque on mine as for the stock wheels: 90 lb-ft (4-lug wheels).

Aluminum wheels generally run higher torque settings because of the material being softer. My JBW wheels all came with tags in the boxes saying to torque to 100ftlbs. I torque my Centerlines to the same value.
