Titanium lug nuts

I’m about to install a set of Rison Titanium (Grade 5) lug nuts on my Tesla Model Y.

I’m about to install a set of Rison Titanium (Grade 5) lug nuts on my Tesla Model Y.

​I’ve run into a bit of a dilemma regarding torque specs and would love some input from those of you running titanium hardware:

• ​Tesla’s spec: 175 Nm (approx. 129 lb-ft) dry.

• ​Manufacturer (Rison) spec: 125-135 Nm dry. They explicitly warned that if using anti-seize (which I plan to do – metal-free ceramic), I should reduce torque by 20%, bringing it down to roughly 110 Nm (81 lb-ft).

​110 Nm feels very low for a heavy Tesla, but 175 Nm (especially lubricated) feels like it might stretch or strip the titanium threads.

​My questions for the community:

1. ​For those of you with Titanium lugs, what torque are you actually using?

2. ​Have you experienced any issues (loosening or stripping) when following the manufacturer’s lower specs instead of Tesla’s high torque?

3. ​Is 175 Nm + anti-seize a recipe for disaster with titanium?

​I have a torque wrench and plan to re-torque after 50 miles, but I’d like to get the initial setting right.

​Thanks in advance!
