I installed my winter tires and rims yesterday. As I tried tightening the nuts, I had a few that tightened up to 100 ft lbs of torque. But I had many that would not "click" my torque wrench. They just seem to tighten and tighten. I even dropped the setting to 90 t lbs. I just left them snug, but not torqued to 100 ft lbs. I will try again today to retorque. My torque wrench works. I changed tires on my other vehicle that has all steel wheels and they torqued up and clicked like you would expect. Has any else experienced this? I don't think it's because they are aluminum rims. All my other cars have aluminum rims and I've never had a problem getting them to torque properly.
