Hey can anybody tell me what pressure i need to bolt my wheels on for my 2001 206 gti 2.0??
A lot of people i've spoken too say to just use a wrench and tighten it as tight as it goes??....doesn't sound safe to me!!!!
Worth getting an impact wrench?
Any bolts ok? are cheap ones as good as official peugeot ones?
Help pleeeeeeease

I just use a spider spanner (that the name?) doing each bolt equallily (not going round the wheel but crossing over/opposite) and tighening until I cant do much more without mega brut force.

Peugeot would be the best bet, or get a branded make at least.
They should be tightened up to 90nm using a torque wrench. Don't ever air gun them
