If I remember correctly, it should be 45 lbs per nut... since you have a 3 piece, make sure to add silicon to the wheel otherwise it won't be able to hold air; you'll have bunch of air leaks.

No problem, just remember to apply silicon to it too otherwise you'll get a bunch of air leaks.

I would put it on the seam in the inside and between where the two outer rim comes into contact with the middle.

remember the sequence is critical... the rivets on a 2 or 3 piece wheel are somewhat equivalent to the spokes of a bicycle in that you can knowck the wheel out of round if done incorrectly
