Wheel Studs

this may sound stupid but are you using the "correct" lug nuts both either in thread pitch not METRIC on an SAE thread or vice versa as well as the style of nut for that wheel--- IE: cone ,shank etc.?? Weld/Centerline says 85 pounds for most of their wheels with 1/2 inch studs so something is not correct in the application here.Also I would get another torque wrench to tighten them then double check the torque with your wrench see if it clicks at the same rate---FED 387
