    Hello all. I’ve spent about an hour searching (don’t want to be that guy :thumbsup:), and can’t find it on Icon’s site, nor general consensus on the interweb. I have the Vector 5’s on my 2018, but I always like to check torque settings after the dealer rotates them. I’m assuming, since these are aluminum alloy wheels, torque should be same as factory at 97 ftlbs, correct? I asked the guys at 4WP, and they said 125 ftlbs, but that would indicate to me a steel wheel torque. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Mine are right about 100 from my local shop.

    I recheck them with my Huskey Torque wrench set to 100.

    I’d just stick with 97, best bet then to over torque and then brake a lug. Now you have an even bigger problem.
