proper torque setting?

Can anyone provide a number on the proper lug nut torque setting for the 15 inch wheels on the Crossroad units?

Thanks,

Greg

Should be 90 to 110 lbs.

This is what CRs emailed me:
If you have alum wheels 95 ft lbs If you have steel wheels 110 ft lbs

This was specifically for my Seville with 16 inch wheels but I think the important point is type of wheel whatever the size....JMHO

I'll tell you what I have experienced.
I use to torque to 90#. After finding numerous threads pulled on both the studs and lug nuts, I got tired of replacing them. I started torquing to 85# and I don't remember if I backed that off to 80# or not. (will know in the spring)
I didn't notice any thing loosening up by doing it that way. Sure did cut down on the pulled threads tho.
Yes, I feel my torque wrench is correct. I have checked it with two other ones.
