I think the book says 80 ft lb. I think that is pretty much a standard.

something like 70-92 I think
I do mine at 85...
Whatever you do, PLEASE RE-CHECK THE TORQUE AFTER ~50-100 MILES. I didn't, and the last time I pulled my wheel off and reinstalled w/ the torque wrench, 3 of my lugnuts were LOOSE (discovered this last night). Probably wanna re-check the torque after the first time you drive it, for that matter...
