Default Wheel stud torque specs?

Still trying to acquire a set of factory books for my "new" 964. Until then, can someone post the torque specs for the stock wheel studs?

Thanks!

I assume they would be 96 ft-lbs? That was the spec on my 996 and my race car. Maybe somebody can chime in with the official owner's manual specs.

I just looked this up. The manual says 94lbs/130 Nm.

95's what the club stewards always want, but I've never looked, before.


Dang, this could spin off into another "whether factory-sourced instructions are a 'purer' declaration in metric than in english".
130 Nm = 95.88 ft-lbs
94 ft-lbs = 127.4 Nm

oh, well, really doesn't matter much since how many of us can say our torque wrenches are even within 5% of being true?

Thanks guys! Hey, 94-95-96 lbs is more accurate than what I had 2 hours ago...which was nada! So, do I need to post pics of the new wheels as payback for the torque specs?
