Wheel specs? Width, center bore, bolt pattern and offset?

[Wildthing]

I purchased wheel locks for the Mach E from Ford. What torque should I use to fasten them to the car? (one locking bolt per tire).

150 lb/pi according to what I just posted. Torque is "couple" in French

That‘s very high.

Thank you. I have a torque wrench in the basement that I’ve never used and now I will (Whenever my car is produced)

Agreed. The Focus ST and Escape both call for 100/lbs. The proper spec should be in the manual.

Yes, the manual lists the lug torque as 150 lb.ft. We had a discussion about that being very high on here somewhere when the manual was first released. But it still seems very high.

At some point, Ford upped the torque. My 2013 Shelby calls for 100, but starting in 2015 the Mustangs call for 150.

Pro Tip: Always use some anti-seize on the threads. It'll help ensure long thread life.

I guess they want to be REALLY sure the wheels stay on with all that power! ?

Showing my ignorance here; what is anti-seize? Something that prevents the bolt from corroding on the screw threads? Where do you obtain this? I've used Liquid Wrench before but not anti-seize.

It's a lubricant that keeps the threads from rusting. In all fairness, there's a lot of disagreement on the use of it on lug studs. It can cause you to over-torque the lugs since it's a lubricant, and lug nut torque is spec'd with dry threads. In the case of 150 ft/lbs of torque, I'd lower the torque value by about 10% to account for the lubricant. But, it will really help keeping the threads from rusting and failing prematurely.

Checked my torque wrench (which was given to me as a gift from an oral surgeon in the Army - I helped him tune up his car - Datsun 240 Z I believe) and it only goes up to 100 ft lbs of torque. I asked my dealer if they would install the lock nuts at delivery and he said yes so I guess I don't have to worry about it.

Wow! Store in Orland Park - never heard of them. Torque wrenchs aren't cheap but there is one for about $20. Dealer said he'd have mechanic do it for me at delivery so I dodged a bullet. Thank you for taking the time to look this up! ?

I've been using these torque sticks for years. I had to double check to see if it included a 150. Luckily, it does.
