Steel wheel questions

Hi guys,
Just a quick one (i hope)
I have a set Modular wheels and i was wondering if i could use them with the original heavy duty steel wheel nuts?
Also, does anybody now the torque setting for these Modular steel wheels?

Thanx, Ruud

Yes, any nuts for steel wheels will fit. It's just nuts for alloys (which have a flat flange rather than a taper) that you can't use Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8

CLS 350 CDI for the sensible stuff

Thanks for youre reply Tookaphotoof,

That's a lot, i thought that aluminium wheel had a higher torque setting then steel wheels?
This is way more than aluminium wheel torque setting i believe?

I thought it was less, untill I read the manual.

5,5J 108Nm
6,5 is the same as 7,5 aluminium wheels.
