Simmons Wheel Torque Settings

[WLDWST]

I picked up a real nice set of Simmons wheels for my T yesterday from a friend. They are Simmons FR Series black 17" 3-piece wheels. Fronts are 17x8.5 and rears are 17x9.5. front 17x8.5 5x4.75 pcd-8mm offset
rear 17x9.5 5x4.75 pcd-10mm offset. The tires are Nitto Extreme's P245/45/17's front with the Mickey Thompson Drag Radial 275/40/17's rear.

They should be a drastic improvement to my car. I have always liked the way they looked on his GN. I know they will look great on my white T. The black may even stand out more. Anyway, I was just wondering what the recommended wheel nut torque settings are? I have heard that they are higher than some wheels. For those of you that run them, what do you torque the wheel lugs to?

Wow, I'd like to see those. Mine are silver and I've debated painting them black also. I torque mine to 90 lbs. They are sweet wheels.

They look pretty cool, I must admit. Initially I would have preferred a silver wheel because of the color of my car. The more I look at these though the more I like them. It's true,the quality of the these wheels is exceptional. I will post some pics of the wheels themselves for you a little later today. I am going to mount them on the car later this week.

Here you go davidf. A few pics of the wheels alone. I am going from a nice set of four front GTA's to these.

By all means leave them black.

Any day you want to sell those, drop me a line! Been looking for black ones for a LOOOOOONG time. I don't care if it's ten years from now. Put my business card on your desk. :biggrin:

I will keep you in mind. I am pretty quirky. Sometimes I sell stuff after a short while.

I'll probably hang on to them for now. Just in case I sell the car.

I will probably have them mounted Friday if the weather holds up. I'll post some pics when I have a chance.

Here is a quick picture of the car with the Simmons. I didn't have time to take a better one because a thunder storm is coming. I like the look, but it's not a world of difference from the GTA's in my opinion. I do like them better though. Now I need a set of upgraded front and rear discs to make them stand out.

Love the black.

Looks really nice. Would look nicer if you had all blacked out trim!

I don't know about that. I think the bright edges of the rims are set off by the chrome on the car. But everyone has there own opinion. That's what makes the world an interesting place. With the centers being black, I think they would look best on a GN personally.

White car + blackout trim does looks sexy.
