Drag Race and Oval Track Center Bolts:
10in Wheels: 10 ft-lbs (123 in-lbs)
13in Wheels: 20 ft-lbs (245 in-lbs)
15in Wheels: 20 ft-lbs (245 in-lbs)
16in Wheels: 20 ft-lbs (245 in-lbs)
Note: If re-installing the center bolts, we recommend using one drop of Red Loctite 2760 on each bolt and allow 24 hours to cure. Loctite 272 may also be used if 2760 cannot obtained. Loctite 272 will require 72 hours to cure to full strength. Loctite activator 7649 may be used in combination with either Loctite thread locker listed to decrease the cure time to 30 minutes. Torque sequence for the center bolts is the same sequence used for lug nuts (star/crisscross pattern).
