The lug nuts on a 2015 Subaru Forester should be tightened to 89 lbf. ft. It's important to be cautious when adding or removing lug nuts from a car to avoid damaging them. Over-tightening can lead to snapping or stripping, especially if the nuts are old or rusted. If the nuts are stripped, they'll just spin in place and can be difficult to loosen. In such a situation, a mechanical press may be needed to remove them, potentially causing damage to the wheel. If the bolts snap, the rotor on the wheel will need to be removed to unthread them from the back. To prevent these issues, it's best to exercise caution during the process.
