My Silverback had a sticker on it with the correct torque written on it. In my case it was 90 lbs. I'm guessing your Cedar Creek will come with a similar sticker with the correct torque listed.

What's "German tq."? Sorry, newbie still...

And I have a sticker, too - the pen is just so faded, you can't read it anymore.

Thanks, Rich
110-120 ft lbs retorque
I use 115 on my 2012 36CKTS

Disturbed wheel(off the hub)
30ft lbs first round
60 second round
90 third round
Final is 110-120

There will be a sticker on your new wheels
and a delivery check sticker on the nose with the
torque specs.

Also, I run 100 psi @ 72*F cold. The G614's
Run at 114lbs at 100* on the highway at 65mph.

Think about a TPMS for your new Creek as well.

I wish I could only check the torque on my lug nuts. There's not enough space in the wheel to fit a socket and I can't find a thin walled 13/16th socket anywhere.

Thanks for the offer. No plans for Goshen, although I would love to go. I'll continue my search locally.
