When should wheels be torqued after rotation?

Wheels should be torqued after rotation once the vehicle has been lowered to the ground and before driving it. This is typically recommended to ensure that the lug nuts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications, as the weight of the vehicle can affect the seating of the wheels. It's also advisable to check the torque again after about 50 to 100 miles of driving to ensure everything remains secure.
