What should the wheel nut torque be set to for our civics with alloy wheels?

[Turbo]

Just wondering thinking about trying on a set of alloy wheels I got and need to know the proper torque before I start driving around on them. I have a 2016 ext if that helps.

I believe it's 80 ft-lbs. That's what my 9th gen Si was and my 2013 Accord. It might be in your owners manual, but I'd say 80 ft-lbs is a very safe bet.

Same as with stock wheels.

Should be 108lbs.

You are reading the diagram incorrectly. It’s for metric countries which indicates in Newton meter (Nm). Not sure what the 2nd value is, but the third number is the ft-lb value.

Honda’s that use 12x1.5 lug nuts are 80 ft-lb. Honda’s with 14x1.5 lug nuts use the higher spec 94 ft-lb.
