No way would I be comfortable torquing them to only 40 foot pounds. I’ll get em fixed and maybe torque then to 80-90. 40 seems so low. I’m no metallurgist or science guy but I don’t know how 40 would be tight enough on an acorn lug nut on wheels that turn, street drive, and are used as actual wheels
