RE: lug nuts

i believe it's 90-110 ft.lbs.

i usually go 110-120. the important thing is to make sure they're all the same and none are drastically over torqued (or loose, for that matter)

RE: lug nuts

my torque wrench only goes up to 80 so that's what I use and haven't had any wheels fall off

No warped rotors yet either

I also like 80# and have had no warped rotors, makes them easier to get off the next time. I also like to use anti seize on the threads.

Worst comes to worse, you could estimate the torque without a torque wrench. 100 ft*lbs is equivalent to putting 100 lbs of force 12 inches away from the lug, or 66 lbs 18 inches away, or 50 lbs 24 inches away.
