steel rim or alloys! rest wont matter what car. but if you do 8 kg this is the normal torque load that i use on all rims unless they are magnesium there you got to be more carefully.

alloy rims

do 8kg be ok max 8.5 its if i recall right 80NM to 85NM normal alloys will be ok like this considering that most people use a brace when they change a tyre on the road side. after 50km you recheck the nuts. its what all tyre places write on the sales sheet in europe when they fit new tyres

The correct wheel nut torque for those is 125Nm, anything between 100-150 is acceptable.

that be 12.5kgto 15kg

110nm is what I use for normal 12mm car wheel nuts

Never heard anyone use KGs as a unit of torque before.

135n/m is correct spec, and I work at a Ford Dealer so should know :)

Tell that to Tony's Tyre Service, bent the factory brace trying to get wheel nuts off, had to borrow a socket and bar in the end

Mercedes 12mm wheel bolts 110nm and 14mmwh. bolts 150nm for example.

Do them up till stripped then back them off two turns. That should sort it out!
