Anyone know what the torque range for the RIT wheel lugs is?

Page 188 of the manual says 190Nm so 140ftlb.

FWIW don't tell Rivian service you changed the tire. They will recommend you tow it to a service center so they can make sure it is torqued correctly.

NO joke.. That is what I was told after I had solved an issue with a cross threaded lug.

It's probably because of the 140 ft*lbs spec.

IIRC my GMC Sierra had similar torque specs. It's not unusual in the truck world.

Because I collect tools for no reason, happen to have an appropriately sized torque wrench perfect for the job

I ordered one on Amazon because HD was out of stock on 1/2" torque wrenches. Turns out all but a couple of my lugs were torqued fine by hand.

I just thought it was hilarious that even after re-threading the OEM parts they recommended I tow it to the service center to make sure it was torqued correctly, just a silly statement IMHO, it would mean changing a tire is not user serviceable in their opinion. Regardless I laughed at them and told them I would risk it.

Or the United States of CYA.

It's just how companies are forced to operate, these days.

I am 316 miles away from my service center. The delivery driver had to get a hotel room after he delivered the truck. I wonder if they would say the same thing.
