Anyone who has 20" Nuburgrings on a 2012 SS using Gorilla lugs? What torque was used to install them? One wheel distributor told me 90 lb. for this set up. Stock wheels are 140 lb.

Everyone is going to tell you to go with the factory 140 ft lbs. When i purchased my CCW wheels and ran Gorilla locks on all studs i was told by CCW as well as another high end wheel dist. to torque to 100ft lbs. I have been running 100ft lbs for over 2.5yrs and have never had any come loose. Just my $.02

Make sure you re-check the lugs after driving for a day or two. I found a few of mine had loosened up after driving one day. One wheel had been making a metallic popping noise and turns out one of the lugs must have been backing out. Do it when the wheel is cool.
