I use 90 ft. lbs on my aluminum wheels. You need less on steel wheels IIRC. Maybe like 70.

Anything between 80-90 is good.

FWIW, I torque mine to 85 ft. lbs. Can't remember if I read that in the FSM, owner's manual, or what.

85 ft. lbs. here as well. But 80 - 90 is a good range.

I happened to have the FSM on my coffee table as I read this, so I looked it up out of curiosity...

72-87 ft-lb.
