lug nut torque - Aluminum ITP
Sorry for the confusion. The removable type, Threadlock is just a brand name. I had the lugnuts off and on many times. This lugnut subject has been discussed a couple years back. Some folks had problems with loosening lugnuts mostly with aftermarket alloy rims with stock steel lugnuts. The solution was a tiny bit of removable Threadlocker with 30 lbs of torque.
So here we are in 2006, my comment on the use of Threadlocker on wheel studs probably does'nt apply, but 90 lbs seems like alot.

I agree that 90 ft pounds is too much. I disagree to use any kind of threadlock on any kind on a lug nut. If the rim has a taper hole, then use a taper lug nut. If the rim isn't tapered, then use a flat lug nut and a flat washer. If your studs are too short because too thick of rim's, then you need to put in longer studs. If you think it will come loose, then go another 10ft pounds.

NO threadlocker has its place on a stud, regardless if its removable or not. each time you put that lug nut on and off, you are stressing the stud, unless you completely removed and cleaned the stud of the old threadlocker.
i dont recommend it, id have to guess thats why you broke a stud?
good luck.
