Question Torque setting for factory wheels and lugs

I was wondering what the official Mazda defined torque setting was for factory 3rd gen RX7 wheels and factory 3rd gen RX7 lugs/wheel locks. I looked all over in my manual and could not find the specification.

It came right from page Q-4 of my 1993 Mazda RX7 Factory Service Manual, so it's the torque you need.

No problem, glad I could help you out. If you ever get a chance to buy one, do it! It's a great reference to have even if you aren't doing your own maintenance.

soundwaveFD,

You do not have "The Right Struff" to find the specs you need, so you ask.
Then you question the correct answer given which is an insult to silver93rx7r1, and shows your lacking personality.

DAPDAS!

Damn Chuck... lol.

SoundwaveFD, the Factory Service Manuals are readily available for download. Go check the FAQ section https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...l-links-68640/ for what you need.

Agree that having a hard copy of the FSM is a HUGE help. They pop up every once in a while in the classified section.

I understand what you are saying but when he gave me the specs, I did not know if it was official Mazda specs or out of personal experience..........so I asked.........he told me..........and I thanked him profusely. I looked all over my car's manual and could not find it. I do not know every trick yet to find hard to find info on the forum but I am learning. I do not appreciate your comments.
