Default torque on lug nuts
Anyone know how many foot pounds of torque you should use on your lug nuts?

you'll hear most folks agree on 95-110 ft lbs. I go for 100 myself. don't forget to check your torque after 100 miles or so

I do 95 lbs also, with Pro Comp "spline nuts"

Just be sure to tighten them lightly FIRST, then do your torquing in a star pattern !!!
