Proper torque for the rear wheels is about 400 ft-lbs......
Oh, if you meant lug nut torque, that is only 100 ft- lbs. ....

When tightening the wheels, do it in stages to prevent any rotor warping. 30, 60, and last 100 lbs. in a star pattern, the factory recommended way.

Default some gorilla put mine on
I had a 1/2" torque wrench all the way up to 140 ft lbs & I still couldn't get mine loose, a 3 ft piece of pipe finally did the job, dam those were tight!

Yeah, 100 ft lbs is correct.
