Wayne, you know that I have zero intention of switching out my wheels and tires until I run through the tread on the PS2's - which given my mileage should be in 2015.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I need the size of the lugs that came on the stock 18" turbo twists on my 4S. Are they 17mm or 19mm? Also, what is the torque I should use for tightening up the lugs? Damn, I really am getting senile - I just realized I posted the first part of this question a couple of days ago.
Sounds like 19mm it is - and the torque to tighten? Probably asked that, too.
If you release the parking brake and put the car on level gound in nuetral, tighten the bolts till the car rolls.... its not anywhere near the right torque spec, but I thought your car might like to go for a ride.....
I need a new one, turns out mine broke... I have had it for years and dont even know where I got it, time to buck up to the bar and drop some coin...
ALL iin fun at the pokes... I am sure you know, but thought it wouldn't hurt to say it
I'm very used to it - just look at the hundreds of posts Wayne and Tim (Wellard and Gota911) have leveled at me. But, I can dish it out as good as I can take it.
I bought a torque wrench from Tire Rack - it seems to be a substantial tool, and was pretty inexpensive. Around $35.

It's for the Audi! Wayne, you know that I have zero intention of switching out my wheels and tires until I run through the tread on the PS2's - which given my mileage should be in 2015.
Wayne, I swear I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I read Phil's post.!
Phil, as the "other Tim" (Gaspasser19) stated, 95 lb. ft for the torque. Remember, if you torque them too tight, the "little green 3/4 circle light" on the dash will illuminate!
I knew I would be able to work that one in there, some how!
you guys are to much... we all know that Phil does not want to change the original factory torque on the lugs... it will no longer be stock if he re-torques them.
Is there a devaluation thread on that somewhere, I may be WAY down on value since I did that like 10 times this year....
do those show up on CarFax reports?
Maybe Phil can import a Posrche Torque tech from Germany... we can get a group buy and have him/her re-torque all our lugs and bring the value of our cars back up.... whos in for a group buy? Carfax will def pick it up... this is a major stuff here!
The idea of a 5' 7" German blond retorquing my lugs is very appealing to me. It might increase the value of my car, but would likely have a negative effect on the value of my marriage.
Group torque anyone??
