What is the Lug Nut Torque meant to be?

[Touchdown]

Changing my front tires out to Q5's this week (thanks to all that helped with my education) and I realized that I don't know what torque to use for mounting them. I tried "feeling" what came from the factory with my torque wrench but (surprise, surprise) there was quite a difference nut to nut. My guess is about 100 ft-lbs but I wonder if this is something that you folks have wrestled with and solved. Any suggestions?

Thanks. I actually did read the owners manual. Once again I overlooked it.

Frankly, I wouldn't trust the torque values using your method. I had to resort to my DeWalt impact wrench because as I was trying to remove the first lug nut, the wheel started to spin. I'm thinking there is NO WAY it should be THAT tight.

Remember, if you use something like " never-seeze " on the threads ( like I do ) then I'd go with 80lbs. .....JMHO .... Mike
