Lug nuts with never seize only need to be torqued to 80% of the dry thread specified torque . You can stretch and therefore weaken studs otherwise . Ask an engineer or consult a bolt manufacturer
Those wheels and lugs luuk really nice. I have an all-black Nissan 370z on whic I've just upgraded the wheels to a set of black forged magnesium monoblock wheels from Litespeed Racing. The wheels are each about 9 lbs lighter than the stock forged aluminum ones. I went with a set of black anodized aluminum lug nuts to replace the steel ones. I'm greasing the stud threads and flange bases of the nut heads with antiseize compound, along with the hub lip. Like you, I'm reducing the tightening torque by about 30% to compensate for the reduction in frictional torque in the threads and nut flange. In the future I plan to replace the all-ateel OEM rotors with some two-piece aluminum hat ones.
Titanium lug nuts is perfect 👌😁 Titanium lug nuts are 29% stronger and nearly 50% lighter than steel which results in a decreased rotational wheel mass. I know where can you get it at a great price 😁😁
I'll be getting some lightweight titanium lug nuts for all my clients Westfield cup cars. They only weigh 560kg (1250lbs) so it makes A LOT of difference.
What was the actual weight of 20 steel OEM lugs nuts and the total weight of 20 Ti lug nuts? Also, if every ounce counts, why didn't you use shorter Ti lug nuts? Thank you.
Factory lug nuts on my car are 54g , the titanium ones ive seen are 31g , $125 a wheel to reduce on sprung weight by 120g per wheel is a dead set waste of money . Spend that 500 bucks on something that provides bang for buck . Resonator delete , lighter wheels/tyres , aluminium rotor hats etc etc
Great question, you're correct. The dry torque is 150 lb ft, however Jarek anytime you use torque lube it reduces the torque by a specific specification depending on the lube manufacturer.
Talked to you up at the Somerset car show right before they let everyone in, keep up the good videos.👍🏼
Thanks, share the channel. Hoping to make a push for subs.

Nice review, I’ve got those on my SV701’s. Keep it up, enjoy the vids.
Brad C thanks buddy, share and sub.

How about titanium wheel studs to go with the lug nuts.

It all adds up!! Looks very race-like!
Thanks BFP.
very nice- those look great!

Don't you think the anti-seize will change the toque specs? I was told by more than one pro auto tech that it will,
Yes it does. I torqued the nuts to 80 ft lb vs the spec 100 ft lb.

what brand of Ti lug nuts did you use?

I thought the speck was 150ft pounds from ford. Are you torquing the wheel 130-140 because of aftermarket wheel?
Great question, you're correct. The dry torque is 150 lb ft, however Jarek anytime you use torque lube it reduces the torque by a specific specification depending on the lube manufacturer.
EasyStreetGarage did not know that thanks. Is there a rule of thumb by how much to reduce it?
exhaust is sprung weight lmao
Back seat delete is “ sprung “ weight

I thought titaniums are great but brittle?
Correct, however very light wight. Also require thread lube.

You could save a lot more weight if you trained a race horse jockey to drive the race car.
That is sprung weight, not unsprung. Unsprung weight is your tire, wheel, brakes, etc. Anything that moves with the suspension.
Wrong. Unsprung weight is weight ur suspension does not support. Ur exhaust, nope, back seat nope. Wheels and lugs yes.
