Lug torque settings and jacking up the car.

What ft/lbs torque do the lugs need for installing rims? I have a stillen body kit on my car as well. What place is best for the jack while lifting and for a jackstands?

Well, I'll tell ya this much... I put a floor jack under my car the other day, and started jacking it up by the "factory jack points". Bent them fokkers all to ****!!! I'll be finding a spot on the frame to jack up from now on.

As for the lugs... how many ft lbs is "until tight"?

That's the only measurement I use.
