M12/M400 OEM wheel torque settings

[AMG Merc]

FYI - I've aded the note below to the above Wiki FAQ re wheel torques.

I've always set at the factory recommended 120Nm / 88 ft/lb but thought I'd ring round when I got new tyres fitted recently. So there are no less than 3 "recommendations". I feel the wiki is incorrect and way to high and that Bespoke it too low - I'm happy with the factory settings (which happen to sit in the middle).

This made me think. The FAQ has been posted above for many years so lots of owners/garages may have followed the high settings. Could this have been the cause of the early wheel breakages I wonder

Your call as to which you choose
