Yep shouldn't be tight at all. Think about replacing the bearing whilst your at it.

Makes no difference if it has been over tightened then the bearing is scrap

Out of interest, are the wheels multi-fitment or has someone drilled them for you. Some interesting stress raisers in the fizing bores.....

They look home drilled tbh  :undecided:


Also your using the wrong bolts if they are aftermarket alloys.

Just noticed that on the wheels. Definitely look wrong. Bolts holes that close together looks like a fail waiting to happen.  :shocked:

You got a pic of the whole wheel?
