Default Torque values?

New here, and all the valuable info is much appreciated.

I'm installing new wheels and tires next week and wanted the torque values for the lug nuts when useing 1.5" spiderex spacers and stock rubi wheels.

Thanks in advance.

When I installed my Spidertrax spacers, I tightened them to 105lbs with red loctite. Then the wheels went on at 95lbs. When I check the nuts on the spacers at every rotation, I check them at 95lbs so I don't break the loctite seal and don't have to reset the torque setting on my wrench for the wheel lugs. Everything is done at 95lbs. Works great and I don't think 105 is too much for the spacers. I think the instructions recommend 80-90lbs. But who reads instructions? And besides, what do they know!?

Excellent, and I thought I was the only one with a drawer full of left over parts.
