What is the correct wheel lug nut torque (lb•ft)? I believe I read on this forum its 100 ft lb but the 2016 owner's manual says 65~79 ft lb.

model year = 2016
Don't know where you got that info from but this is a pic made from page 312 in the 2016 Owner's Manual. It's the same 100 ft-lbs for the 2014 and was for my '08 C6 as well!
PS: My copy of the 2016 Owner's Manual only goes to page 349!
From 2016 Owner's Manual. My 2014 is the same as was my C6.

Difficult to believe how misinformed some people are. The page you copied and pasted is not even for a Corvette yet you are posting it as fact in a Corvette forum dealing with the 7th generation Corvette.
It's from my 2016 Corvette owner's manual, page 486 (8-5).
I have a PDF of the 2016 manual, and it only has 349 pages and no section numbers (e.g. 8-5). ???? In my 2015 manual, wheel torque is specified in section 12-2.
Now that I look again, those aren't Corvette tire sizes, either. Not sure what manual you're looking at, but it's not a C7 Corvette.
As others have said, page 312 if nt 2016 manual says 100 lb ft.
100 ft lb has been the standard for years no matter what car you owned !!! Wayne
That's not true. The C7 is the first car I've owned with lug not torque specs this high. Maybe 100 ft lb is standard for GM cars, but certainly not every car.
