Lug nut torque?
I will be painting my calipers soon. When I re-install the wheels what is the correct lug nut torque?
Thanks,

It may overkill, but I prefer to start at 80 then 90 then 100 all done in a star pattern.

Thanks,
100 ft. lbs. done in a star pattern. It has also been recommended that you do it incrementally. 40, 80 100 or similar in a star pattern.
