Default Mounting C5 wheels?
It is my understanding that when you tighten the lug nuts on the C5 wheel you must use a star pattern and torque the lug nuts to 100 ft/lbs. My question is if there is a particular place to start the star pattern and if there is a recommended order. Thanks for your help. :seeya

No certain starting point, just criss cross, start at 25/50/75/100 ft lbs.

I start with the locking lug nut just so I know where I started.
