Gen2 Forged Wheel Trim Ring Torque?

[Johnkn]

I sure don't see it in any of my manuals, and can't even find consistent answers via Google, what is the correct torque on the optional forged "beadlock" wheel trim rings ? I saw one reference to ~47 ft/lbs which seems super high for an aluminum trim ring. Thank you....

nothin' but decoration...just snug 'em up

Anyone have the real answer? thanks

I think that is the real answer... they are just decoration unless you go buy the real metal ones to make them actual beadlocks. Now, if thats what you have and we are assuming incorrectly that you mean the ones that come from Ford on the beadlock capable wheels, then no idea what the torque is. I don't think that was meant as a sarcastic answer though.

I am looking for the torque spec for the factory trim rings on the Forged "Beadlock capable" wheels. I've been looking for 2 days and only see a reference to ~47 ft/lbs for the trim rings ( as delivered on new trucks). thanks.....

thanks, the problem with any answer from Jake17 is that he trolls this board in order to tell everyone what a POS their Fords are.

Looks like 17.5 NM.

THANK YOU.. ~13 ft/lbs makes sense.......

They are just beauty rings...just snug them up, no need for a structural torque figure...
