Wheel spacer and wheel nut tightness

[Bear Head]

Got a 182 FF.

Going to be putting some 20mm spacers on tomorrow, the car runs cooksports.

The spacers are Hubcentric H&R Trak 20mm. Just wondering what torque to fit the spacer onto the car and what torque to fit the wheel to the spacer?

Am I also right in thinking the clio has wheel studs and not just nuts?

Thanks.

You can buy a stud kit but as far as I'm aware all Clio's have bolts. On the torque setting I haven't a clue other than to think it would be the same as if you were using the standard bolts into the hub.

Ah okay it's just with my new spacers I got some bolts and presumed that thw others would be the same?

Just do the spacers nice and tight and clean the disc face to get a nice flat face. As for wheels bolts I usually do mine up to around 110-120 NM.

Ah okay so that be fine for a 182? So torque it to the same as the wheels?

Yea I would say 120 would be fine for them could do them a little tighter if you like wont hurt. Check them after a few hundred miles just to be sure.

If your really concerned use this table...

Assuming they're M12 bolts, and assuming they're class 10.9 it says a torque of 122nm.
