Torque Wheel Lug Nuts
Just took the wheels off my C6, for cleaning purposes, however I am unable to find in the manual the correct torque numbers for the wheels.

If you are talking about the lugnuts it is 100 ft/lbs.

Many thanks. I'm sure that number is in the manual, but I could not find it.

I believe the proper torque is at 50, 75, and 100 ft/lbs.

Also, dry threads- no oil or antiseize.
Some people use AS and don't have problems, but they're definitely over-torqueing the nuts at 100. What would be the correct number with antiseize? I don't know, and probably neither do the people who are using it.
