Did it come with instructions? I would just use the stock setting as your car calls for.

try using 80ftlb... ive been using them on both my spoon and rays lug nuts... on the street and on track... no problem... :thumbsup:
P.S not too tight and not too loose...somewhere around 80-90 will do too... (IMO)

oh thanks shaun~!~
i think i got confused. i *thought* my torque wrench said 100 ft/pound, and the rays nset says about 100nm... so i got confused at the conversion.
but appearently the wrench i used actually says 100nm, no ft/lb LOL

thats about 105-110 NM for metric's sake. Dont over-tighten as they will break/ crumble...
Stock lug nuts are about 130NM.

hahaha... dodgy...hahaha...
heres the conversion...
To convert N.m. to ft lb multiple N.m. by a factor of (0.737)
For example: 55Nm = 55 x 0.737 = (40.535 ft lb)
good luck and have fun! :D
