Default Over Tightened Lug Nuts?

I've been warned about "over-tightening" the lug nuts on my Z06's wheels because it could cause the rotors to distort creating braking problems. Does anyone know what the correct torque setting is? As long as the typical "criss-cross or star pattern" is used during the nut tightening process does it really matter that much? Comments anyone? :confused:
