for fastening the lug bolts.
Remove lugs with a breaker bar or the lug wrench in the car's toolbox. Tighten them evenly with a torque wrench set to ~85 ft-lbs. (Bentley specs are 77-92 ft-lbs.
Make sure that your lug bolts have the same type of mating surface as the mounting holes in the wheels. I have to use lug nuts with cone-shaped mating surfaces for the summer wheels on my '86, but flat-faced lug nuts for the winter wheels.
