I ahd mine torqued to 100ft-lbs on the 02 and 2 (one on each side stripped out) so If you are going to be adding different wheels get the newer studs

Also, is you use antiseize (and you should) you can back that down by 10 lbs or so.

thanks guys,

I am having problems every time with garages not putting them on tight enough. the lug wouldn't fit flush into the stud hole on the rim. it would just tighten up off center and then would loosen up after a few miles. i'd hear the rim wobbling as I drove. I have to just stop and use the tire iron to tighten them up by hand (a real power tool! )

I know I should get new lug nuts, I've read those threads.
