Tools Required
– 17mm hex key (Allen key) or torque wrench with hex socket adapter
– Wheel torque wrench (calibrated to vehicle specifications)
– Anti-seize compound (titanium-compatible; avoid nickel-based anti-seize)
Step-by-Step Installation
1. Prepare the Vehicle: Jack up the vehicle and secure it on jack stands; remove the wheel cover/cap and loosen the existing wheel bolts (do not fully remove yet).
2. Remove Old Bolts: Fully remove the steel wheel bolts and clean the wheel hub threads to remove dirt or corrosion.
3. Apply Anti-Seize: Add a small amount of titanium-compatible anti-seize to the bolt threads (prevents galling and eases future removal).
4. Install Titanium Bolts: Hand-thread each titanium wheel bolt into the hub to avoid cross-threading; tighten in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
5. Torque to Specification: Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the bolts to your vehicle’s recommended torque (typically 80–100 Nm for M14×1.5 bolts; check your owner’s manual).
6. Final Check: Lower the vehicle and recheck torque after 50–100 miles of driving to ensure no loosening.
Safety Notes
– Never over-torque titanium bolts (titanium has lower shear strength than steel; over-tightening can cause thread damage).
– Do not use impact wrenches for final tightening (use only for initial hand-threading).
– Inspect bolts for damage (scratches, bent threads) before installation.
H2: FAQ
Are titanium wheel bolts stronger than steel bolts?
H3: Are titanium wheel bolts stronger than steel bolts?
Grade 5 titanium alloy has a higher tensile strength than mild steel and stainless steel (1,100 MPa vs. 800 MPa for 304 stainless steel). While titanium is lighter, it offers superior strength for performance applications—though it is more brittle than steel, so proper torqueing is critical.
Can I use these bolts for track racing?
H3: Can I use these bolts for track racing?
Yes, these grade 5 titanium wheel bolts are engineered for racing and track use. They meet motorsport standards for strength and fatigue resistance, making them ideal for high-performance driving conditions.
Do titanium wheel bolts require special maintenance?
H3: Do titanium wheel bolts require special maintenance?
Titanium bolts are low-maintenance—simply clean them with soap and water to remove road grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners (they can scratch the protective oxide layer). Reapply anti-seize compound if you remove and reinstall the bolts.
Can I get custom lengths or finishes for these bolts?
H3: Can I get custom lengths or finishes for these bolts?
Yes, we offer custom lengths (35mm–80mm) and PVD coatings (black, gold, blue, rainbow) for these titanium wheel bolts. Contact our sales team for custom orders with minimum quantity requirements.
What torque setting should I use for M14×1.5 titanium wheel bolts?
H3: What torque setting should I use for M14×1.5 titanium wheel bolts?
We recommend following your vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification (usually 80–100 Nm for passenger cars). Never exceed the recommended torque—titanium threads can strip if over-tightened.
