I'm getting the Cayman R ready for the track again, and want to make sure the wheel nut torque is correct. The owner's manual seems to indicate 118 ft-lb. Does that sound right? I though about 90 to 100 is more typical, so that sounds a bit high?

 

• Silver wheel bolts (up to model year 2011) = 130 Nm (96 ftlb.). 160 Nm (118 ftlb.) also permitted retroactively.
• Silver wheel bolts as of model year 2012 = 160 Nm (118 ftlb.).
• Black wheel bolts = 160 Nm (118 ftlb.)

 

96 ft. lbs. both axles.

 

This is the correct value for lug bolts if that is what you are looking for. Or lug nuts if converted to studs. Not sure what a 'wheel nut' is.

 

I think the manual calls them wheel nuts, but yes I'm referring to the lug nuts, lug bolts, etc.

Seeing that you have a 2012 CR, please recheck the manual. I'm pretty sure the torque spec is 118 ft-lb.
