Probabaly one for IDG.

What is the torque setting for the wheel nuts on an S1 Exige?

Is it any different for the magnesium wheels using the Elise wheel nuts?

Thanks

59-63 ft lbs (80-85 nm) for the standard wheels…

I would use the same for speedlines…

The manual say’s 80-85nm. wouldn’t worry to much about getting it just right, biggest problem we have had is when they are tooo tight and the car is warm after a race you really battle to get the bolts loose.

That’s print it from work as it’s pretty big

And then laminate it
