Pretty sure max is 150#. I hit 125# and call it good.

Torque the wheel lug nuts to the proper specification: 150 lb.ft (204 Nm).

Indeed that is what the book says, and I still use 90-100.

I Have the 2020 GT service manual and for some reason its not working on my laptop....anywho.... i torqued them the same as I do on my GT500 with the carbon wheels (135 lb ft) for now. They say 150 for the GT500 also.Thanks for the help everyone!

Curious as to why you're not going with factory spec. Probably a few dollars went towards determining 150 lb ft.

for now gonna leave it there . The spec for the 500 is 150 lb ft + or - 15 lb ft. I have seen. some guys with a GT350 crack their wheels by over torquing them or using an impact.Not driving the car yet (just got ppt finished and wheels and car ceramic coated) but will check the spec on the manual before I do thanks

When I had the GT350R, I went thru 4 sets of tires. I never had issues with the torque specs or wheels.....

For anyone looking in future at this thread the spec is 150 lb ft for both the carbon wheels and the aluminum wheels91D688C3-1C91-4167-A762-C5D47132C68F.jpeg
