Hi all,
I've just taken delivery of my first set of alloys fitted
with Cooper Discovery AT tyres, standard size for my MK1 Trooper.
That made a bit of a dent in my bank balance
My question is does anyone know what I should torqe the nuts upto?
I don't want to over tighten them and damage the wheel.

Also what about tyre pressures.
With my old Federals I kept them at about 30 psi.

Cheers Martin

I have 235/75 15's General Grabber AT2's and I run them at about 30 to 32 PSI as to torque I just tighten up by hand with a wheelbrace by feel but mine has Shogun alloys on it with the big flat type wheelnuts. Your alloy supplier should be able to advise on wheel nut torque.

Phil,
That's what I thought about 30 psi tyre pressure, thanks.

As for the wheel nut torque settings, I did phone the supplier and ask the question and the guy said well I'm not sure as I'm sales staff and didn't know.
Then he disappeared for a few minutes to ask someone and came back with an answer of 118Ibs torque and tyre pressures 3psi.
I didn't argue with him because he obviously didn't know.
So I thought I would ask the question here.

I'm going to put them on tomorrow so I'll just do it by feel.

Thanks again Martin
