Frequently asked questions
What is the wheel lug torque for a Porsche Panamera?
It is 118 to 133 lbf·ft (160–180 N·m) depending on model year. For 2018–2024 the figure is 118 lbf·ft (160 N·m / 16.3 kgf·m).
Did the Panamera torque specification change between model years?
The Panamera torque specification changed over its production run: 118 lbf·ft applies to 2010–2011 and 2018–2024, while 133 lbf·ft applies to 2013–2016. Using the wrong generation's figure can under- or over-tighten the wheel — match your model year exactly.
Should I grease the wheel studs on a Panamera?
Torque figures apply to clean, dry threads. Do not grease, oil or anti-seize the studs unless the manufacturer explicitly calls for it — lubricant can raise clamping force well beyond the target and stretch or snap a stud.
In what order should I tighten the wheel fasteners on a Panamera?
Tighten in a star (criss-cross) pattern in two or three passes, finishing with a calibrated torque wrench at the figure for your year, with the wheel on the ground. Re-check after 50–100 miles.
