I've been using 90 foot/lbs dry for years. Seems to work well.

I have not found any bolt torque specs for stock wheels/hubs.
On the Richardson driveshafts and hubs 95 lbs ft (no mention of lube on threads)on the lug nuts.
On Don's wheels 110 lbs ft (ARP lube on threads).

I cannot remember where I read or got the setting that I use but it is 90 ft lbs.
I have driven my car 10,000 miles in 5 years and have not had any trouble.
I had also fitted replacement steel rear hubs and Richardson drive shafts.
The real problem is the original cast wheel hub flanges are too thin and flex.

Where did the torque figures come from that were mentioned?

Thanks for the torque setting for the lugs. Seems I was off by lots on a dry thread but not far off of a lubed thread.

72 lbf with lubrication or 120 lbf without.
Under-torqued lug bolts are known to result in cracked wheels.

I don't believe anyone has ever mentioned this before. Personally on all my cars or trucks it's a "feel" torque. I know many newer cars do have a torque requirement and the "feel" torque is not correct for them. So without really knowing the 36 or 37 lug bolt torque I need to guess it to be around 50 ft lbs. Let's see how close I guessed. I will be watching this for an answer.

What is a good torque setting to torque the tire wheel rims on a 36 Westchester?
