Actually lug nut torque is an inspection item and is a fine for under and over torqued lugs.Those torque bars are the worst idea ever invented. My brother proved to the tire shop that they are complete garbage after a 3/4" 1400 ft/lb impact could not remove his lugs after they were "torqued" using torque bars. Went to the tire shop and got the shop foreman to torque his wheels using a torque bar. A few hits with the impact and stop... Torque pretty good. Jam the impact back on it and give more hits and the wheel was torqued to over 1200 ft/lbs using the same torque bar. Shop foreman grabbed all the torque bars and threw them in the garbage. Now they all use a torque wrench and they must see movement before the wrench clicks.

This is my snap-on wheel torque wrench good for 600 ft. pounds, I gernerally set it for 525'pds.for these hub pilot wheels - There's many things to consider when wheels this size are tightened - new wheels vs old rusted wheels, older hubs vs new hubs, old wheel nuts, old studs vs new studs, aluminum hubs vs steel hubs - I generally tighten the nuts with my 1" drive impact and check with my torque wrench. As for fines I'm not sure. When I opened my M.V.i.S. station a wheel torques wrench was not required - but that may have changed...

Big or small, we torque every single wheel we install.

interesting read may be able to get into the ten's with just reducing weight

Definitely 2.

I want to for the looks.. but the passenger one would rarely see any cheeks.

That's why I suggested two. To my eye, would look funny with a stock seat on the passenger side.

So what your saying is go full race car and strip the interior?

Lol, no. Just matching seats.
