I do my steelies to 95.

Always did since I started driving, never had an issue.

And I got myself a pre-set torque wrench from Honda to do the job

Yea if you overtorque the lugs could swell up and then its a real PITA to get them off.

I'm getting Rubi wheels put on tomorrow at Sam's Club. Should I buy a torque wrench to retighten after 100 miles or so? Should I tell them what to torque the wheels down to?
