Default Wheel spacer torque specs

I am about to retorque the wheel spacers and can't remember the torque specs ( I think the regular lugs were around 90 ft/lbs.) I haven't searched cause I am being lazy (actually at work). Just wondering if someone knew off hand. Thanks

I slightly overtorqued mine to 125ft/lbs.

Has ANYONE ever noticed that a spacer lost some torque on a recheck? I rechecked mine at 100 miles and not a single nut budged.

Over torquing is just as bad as not torquing them enough. You weakin the studs.

I seriously doubt that a difference of 10 ft/lbs is going to weaken the studs.
