I am about to install Pro Stars on my 65 Tempest. Is the torque spec the same as original equipment or different? Studs are 7/16-20 and I'm using McGard drag racing lug nuts. I will replace the rear studs with long ARP's soon. Any change? Also, the tire installer got a little sloppy on one of the rims. What do you recommend I do about smoothing out the rough edge on the rim? Thanks

Yes the torque specs are the same. Torque is determined by the thread pitch on the stud not the wheel.
