Torque guidance
The recommended wheel-nut torque for the Cadillac ATS with 18-inch wheels is 140 N⋅m (103.3 ft-lb). Treat this as guidance and confirm the setting in the owner’s manual before tightening the wheel fasteners.
Wheel tightening pattern
Tighten wheel fasteners progressively in a diagonal or star pattern so the wheel seats evenly against the hub.
Use a calibrated torque wrench for the final tightening pass. Do not use an impact wrench for final torque.
Recheck the wheel fasteners after the distance recommended by the vehicle or wheel manufacturer.
