Tighten bolts to factory specs? - Toyota Yaris Forums

you should also tighten all lugs by hand or lightly until all lugs touch the wheel and make the wheel touch the rotor. then go into a star pattern. this will stop the rotor warping issue.

just to give you an idea of how important lug tightening is, the new corvet has a 4 step process you MUST follow. tighten all by hand, then tighten to 50 then 75, and finally to 120. if someone comes in and they find out that lugs werent tightened to spec they're fired. the car was designed to hit 215mph and if someone is happening to go that fast and a wheel falls off....they're dead no matter how lucky they are.
