DB9 Wheel Nut Tightening Torque
DB9 Wheel Nut Tightening Torque
Ok, this is kind of embarrassing.
My 2006 DB9 Volante owners manual tells me that if my car has 22mm wheel nuts I should torque them to 100 lb/ft, but if they're 21mm they get torqued to 130 lb/ft.
I don't know which they are.
My biggest metric socket is 19mm, so I've always used a 7/8" socket on the nuts (a 13/16" is too small). 7/8" converts to 22.2250mm while 13/16" converts to 20.6375mm. So that means that both 21mm and 22mm slot in between 13/16" and 7/8".
I'm GUESSING that they're 22mm because 7/8" is a pretty good fit and I think 21mm would be too sloppy...but does anyone know for sure?
Thanks.

I had this same issue when I took my 2007 DB9 to get new tires last week. The tire shop didn't know initially so I was pleased I did the research beforehand to be able to tell them.
The answer is that on the DB9 wheels, the nuts are 22mm and should be torqued at 100 lb/ft or 135 Nm.
The 21mm I believe are for the Vantage.
