The REFERENCE torque spec for the lug nuts on a 2017 Chevy Silverado will be 140-190 Nm (just for REFERENCE, please inquire with a tire expert). As long as you properly torque them, genuine brand wheel nuts won’t come loose easily. With the development of modern manufacturing technology, brand Chevy lug nuts are well-treated in corrosion resistance. This means they won’t easily get stuck on your wheel studs.
Set the torque wrench to the manufacturer’s recommended value. Then simply turn the wrench handle until it reaches the torque mark. Then, tighten the wheel nuts a quarter turn at a time following the crisscross sequence (in a “star” pattern). This ensures that the Chevy Silverado lug nuts are forced evenly. When all the wheel lug nuts are properly torqued down, you will feel a click around the head of the wrench.
Can Aftermarket Chevy Silverado Lug Nuts Break?
Unlike most wheel nuts people find in the market, BONOSS lug nuts are exceptionally strong, making them very durable. Due to the super forging process, BONOSS forged 50BV30 Chevy Silverado lug nuts won’t break easily. They are ISO Grade 12 approved. The minimum proof load is over 105,700N. When torqued correctly, BONOSS forged 50BV30 wheel lug nuts can maintain high clamping force even under extreme operating conditions. The increased performance ensures safety on the road even when you accidentally come across an obstacle.
Besides, these BONOSS forged 50BV30 steel Chevy Silverado wheel nuts are close-ended. Closed-end wheel lug nuts completely cover the studs. They prevent the rainwater and debris from entering the studs. The advanced multi-layer coating improves the corrosion resistance ability. Particularly, BONOSS forged 50BV30 steel wheel lug nuts give neutral salt spray resistances exceeding 500 hours. That is why sometimes aftermarket wheel nuts are even safer than the OEM ones.
