Wheel Lug Torque Setting?

[SteveL]

Anyone have the specs for how tight to make the wheel lugs?

I've got Roush chrome wheels and I'm tightening them to 90 ft-lbs. I suspect I'm close if not at spec but would like to be sure.

Thanks.

I am pretty sure you are dead on. BULLITT208 told me that he found out that it was either 90 or 95# - don't remember which.

I think mine got a little tight when I was at the track. I tried to remove my wheels the other day and broke a socket
