What is the proper torque for lug nuts on a 2011 jk. I have new wheels and tires, but cannot remember what they were torqued to when i bought them.

95lb/ft is what I do.

I hate it when shops over tighten lug nuts! great way to have one fail or spin the caps on the factory nuts.

From the 2011 Owners manual. Amazing what you can find in there...


9. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the
wrench while tightening for increased leverage. Alternate
nuts until each nut has been tightened twice. The correct
wheel nut tightness is 95 ft lbs (130 N·m). If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service
station.
