Bead Lock Torque?

On the outer ring with all the 5/16 bolts. Do you torque those? And How much?


Thanks

 

15# is the torque amout that American Racing suggests for there wheels. Same size.

 

Weld told me 20lbs in a criss cross pattern

 

i go 18 to 20 on ours....criss cross pattern as well

According to Weld, you don't want to do a criss-cross pattern when torquing. You start at 12, 6, 3 and 9 o'clock by hand and then go circular when you torque. This prevents bending the ring and has always worked for me.

Here is a link to the various torque patterns on circular flanges dependent on the number of fasteners, the website also has a lot of other good charts for conversions etc.
