afs wheels, lugs?

Hey guys,

I just got around to installing my winter 18s and I used the lugs that came with the AFS wheels. They seem fine, they're a bit shorter than the OEMS but I'm assuming the depth of the hub on the OEM rims is deeper. Any issues with using the AFS lugs? Also, what do you guys do for torquing them?

thx

No help on the shorter lugs, Doc, but 101 ft lbs will torque 'em.
For the fanatics: torque to 60, retorque to 90, then nail it to 101.

Re-torque in a thou miles.

thanks md. I'll have to dig out my large torque wrench from storage as my smaller one only goes up to 80ft/lbs.
