Please post your year, wheel type, torque, and any list of damages that occurred (if any) from your torque spree...

Thanks for the reply. It appears that I was unaware of the lug stud change in the late 2000 model year, I do have the 14mm lugs, as opposed to the 12mm...

For '97 through '00 the spec will still be 100 ft/lbs. For '01 (and maybe late '00) the spec is now 150 ft/lbs.
