Including this weekend when I had my rear tires mounted and balanced.

By the way what is the proper torque? 96?
There seems to be a disparity in the manual vs. what I've heard from Porshafiles

Hi,

Yes, it's 96 ft.lbs. And, with alloy wheels you should always check them again after 5-10 miles of driving as the wheels settle onto the hubs...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
