100 lb feet. All should be equal even the key lug

I use an impact gun set to 70-75 psi, the balance with wrench then check the torque

Thanks Wow I gotta go back out and retorque, I took them to 80. I built ramps and such yesterday to jack up the car and remove the wheels for a good cleaning, polish, and waxing. It was beautiful day - maybe should have spent the time getting it dirty.

I have a chart that has just about every other number, even battery cables, but did not see lug nus/wheels.
