[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 16583591, member: 131874"] Theoretically, yes. But, having done a ton of track days over the last two decades, most with a tire change the day before, whenever I install a set of wheels and torque to spec, I always get another bit of a turn on the nut after they've been driven on a while. If I mount up a set of track tires on Thursday and drive 250 miles to the track for a Friday event, I'll get maybe an eighth of a turn on most of the lug nuts on Friday morning with the car cold. If I leave those rims on for a few track days, the nuts will eventually stop moving on the morning retorque. It's such a universal thing that I expect part of the "factory spec" is an allowance for loosening by 10% or so. It's not clear why it happens, and it stops after a while, but my theory is that the heating and cooling of the brakes relaxes tensions in the assembly and the nuts end up a hair looser. [/QUOTE]
