What is the factory spec for the Factory wheel-nut torque and stud thread, 2022+ GR86 / BRZ (120 N·m, M12x1.25) on a Toyota GR86 / Subaru BRZ (ZN8/ZD8, 2022+)?

Q: What is the factory spec for the Factory wheel-nut torque and stud thread, 2022+ GR86 / BRZ (120 N·m, M12x1.25) on a Toyota GR86 / Subaru BRZ (ZN8/ZD8, 2022+)?

Factory specification. Factory spec only, not a complete lug fitment answer. Toyota's torque table gives 120 N·m (about 89 ft-lb) for the GR86 from March 2022, the same figure as the earlier GT86. The M12x1.25 thread comes from wheel guides and a Japanese blog, not from Toyota's table, and we found no factory statement of the nut seat type, so this row stays at tier 2. Match nuts to your wheel maker's spec; the owner's manual excerpt we saw says not to oil the studs or nuts.
