Wheel torque ?
Just got my tires and rims back from being mounted. There is no way I was letting them hammer them on with a gun. I am running the TTIIs. What should Itorque the nuts to. I thought I read 70-90 ft/lbs but wanted to check.

That's what I would go with. The stock steel wheels are 75 ft/lbs and I use 80-85 with my aluminum rims.
What size are your TTII's? I'd like to put a set on my '69. Would you post a photo when they're mounted?

I have stripped stock nuts on the 7/16th studs with 85.
