lugnut torque specs

Man, i've search the boards and can't find this answer.
i'm putting some 4th gen wheels on tomorrow, and need to know the torque specs.

i could use the general 3second grunt rule, but i don't want to warp my rotors with the spacers.

what the crap is the torque specs for the lugnuts?

thanks

Steel wheels are 80 ft/lbs.

Aluminum are 100 ft/lbs.

Use anti-seize on the studs, or at least motor oil. That way they're easier to get off next time, and you'll get more accurate torque readings. Plus less chance of snapping one of them fother muckers.
