Torque setting for genuine Wolf steel wheels?
Does anyone know what torque setting I should use on the steel wheel nuts when fitting genuine Wolf steel wheels? My Haynes manual lists three settings:

108Nm Steel
130Nm Alloy
170Nm Heavy Duty - would that mean the Wolf steel wheels?

The studs are the standard versions, the nuts are standard steel nuts so I'd have thought tightening them to 170Nm might damage the threads?

Appreciate any help.

170Nm is the correct figure for 'Wolf' wheels. You won't damage the nuts or threads. Darren

If you asked for alloy nuts, I can assure you that they can take 800Nm as a minimum. How do I know? Family member took his Defender to local tyre center to get new rubber on.
He came to me for some maintenance, and my weight of more than 80kg on a breaker bar of over 1m long, the nuts did not budge 🤬 then came another 1m extension, and finally they did. And no, it was not a corrosion problem. I think it was their 1” drive impact wrench that is set at full torque. The standard Landrover wheel wrench was not even a close match to undoing them. It just twisted on itself. Luckily no damage. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
