Looking in the owners manual it says 94 ft/lb for 2.0L models. It seems high to me. Being old school, I always torqued street car wheels to 65 ft/lbs (1/2" studs). Now on my drag car on the rear wheels, I had 5/8" drive studs & I torqued those to 105 ft/lbs. Just wamting to verify. Thanks !!!

94 ft lbs is right, 80 ft lbs for non Type R

Interesting, thanks, I have not seen that diagram in the owner manuals that came with the car, including the one I had to request after purchase, perhaps yours is a shop manual. I have been using 80 lbs. per the large "Owners' Manual" that I have, not do hard to torque it up.

Remember also Type R runs M14 size stud, non-Type R has M12...

GM factory torque spec for Camaro's M14 studs are 140ft-lb. I think they might use different grade of steel on the stud.
