On my WC63 I just finished the combat wheels and rings. I torqued the ring nuts to 40ft-lbs as the original studs I could not find any data otherwise. The original material in the studs is probably not strong enough to support 80 or 100ftlbs. I believe the studs are like a grade 2 bolt so I went to 40 ftlbs and called it quits. I have checked mine weekly and they still hold this value. Try the 80 on one wheel and see what happens maybe its ok... Terry
