I agree but would break it down 50 then 75 then 100 with a TQ wrench. ALSO in a star pattern on the lug nuts.. Robert

I agree, but I do mine at 60, 80 then 100 with a torque wrench. It gets the job done.

One note, do not put oil, anti seize or anything else on the the studs or nuts. The specification is for a dry torque. Adding lubrication will result in over stretching the lug and a potential failure.
