Tire Installation
The Rivian R1S lug nut torque specification is 140 foot-pounds (ft-lbs) or 190 Newton-meters (Nm), according to Rivian's tire service guide. It's crucial to use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure proper tightening and prevent damage to the wheel or studs. Always tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to distribute the clamping force evenly.
Lug nuts are M14*1.5 which requires a 3/4 inch socket.
