I realize it doesn't change MAX torque. But the spec, has more to do with the wheel, than the stud.
Up to the max tq of the stud.

Just because the max tq is 120, doesn't mean it gets 120.

If it is tightening a lug nut on an axle, it should be close, i.e. 105lb/ft to 110lb/ft and the wheel material has nothing to do with it.

Tq to man specs.

Wheel studs and carrier studs are 2 completely different animals.

Axle studs don't care what material a wheel is made of to get 75% proof load.

The proper way is using a bolt streach gauge.
