I have a 1999 Landcruiser 100 Series fitted with Dealer Supplied Alloy Wheels.
The wheels are ROH and have steel tapered seats to use the original steel rim nuts.
Question No1
Are the wheels meant to have the steel rim nuts?
Question No2
What is the recommenced torque for this set-up as I believe that the torque for the steel rums is 154 ft/ lbs and the alloy 96 ft/lbs.
Question No3
Is the 96 ft/lbs meant for the all alloy wheel that uses the larger nut with the washer?
Any info would be appreciated as I have just had to replace 3 rear wheel studs damaged by a
well know tyre supplier.
Regards,
Michael G6

It gives the settings in the handbook and i would think that it would apply to all Alloy wheels as excessive pressure could perhaps cause cracking.
Steel rums would cause sore throats I guess LOL

Thanks for that.
I gues that's the problem using spell
check if it is actually a word it does not correct it.

Gday Michael,
Those ROH wheels were the most common 105series mags and were called "Royale".
They take the same standard tapered wheel nuts as the steel wheels.
97 ft-lb is the correct figure for alloys with the tapered nuts.
Sounds like you need a new tyre supplier :-(

Thanks Phil. I found out that alloy wheels were torqued to 96.6 ft/lbs but did not know whether it applied to the units that use the steel wheel nuts as
well.
As for the tyre supplier it is a
well known one but I could not prove that the wheels had not been removed and replaced by others since they worked on it, although I knew it had not been.
Regards,
Michael

An interesting read Mick and would certainly have merit to anyone using their vehicle at the more extreme end of it's capabilities. As for me the standard studs would most likely last me forever provided I keep the vehicle away from incompetent tyre fitters.
Thanks again
