I have to say i am always bemused with folk getting torque wrenches out for wheels. Cylinder heads and flywheels, maybe. You can usually tell when a wheel is nipped up enough. And i dont mean standing on the tommy bar to get it FT. I've never used one, and dont know anyone who does when changing wheels. And i guess, many on here, if they asked around their friends and family, would find many more. If it was such a big deal, there would be wheels flying off vehicles left, right, and centre. But there just arent.
I think its pretty similar to the nose-weight thing. While its unwise to overdo it and pile stuff in the van to bursting, there are some people who'll throw out a tin of beans to keep within the 'limits'. Again, if this was so precise, there would be overturned and jack-knifed vans littering the roads. But again, there arent. People worry too much.
