Anyone know what the torque settings are for BBS style 42 rims, I think the 108s are around the 18 ftlbs mark,
Cheers

I had a butchers through my progress thread Sean thinking it was on there but it's not. I'll go back through my emails as I got the info from the manufacturers BBS.

Can't find the email mate I think you're correct in thinking 18 ft/ilbs mate. You could send BBS an email? Or, just tighten them from experience which is probably what I would do.

Here you go. Can't see why these would be any different to 108s if the bolt size is the same.

Thanks for that pal, I emailed Bbs and asked if they could supply me with a drum only, I got a real shitty email back off them stating that if a wheel had been split it was no longer road worthy and that's why they will not reveal any technical spec

Thanks Rob, I could not for the life of me think where I put this info. I think I should list this under a "How to".

I guess you both were talking at cross purposes Sean. It can be difficult talking to Americans because their English is not the same as ours. It only takes a small thing for there to be huge difference in implication. I had no issue getting the relevant info, if you told them that you had a cracked rim then they would go into CYA mode.
