That's not spec! I'd go higher than the wheel spec. Mine are 100 with loctite and wheels are 90.

I read spec was like 76 or so, i got a cheap wrench highest is 80 for 3/8 drive.

Guess i can take wheels off and torque to 80 and give it a extra umph with a regular lug wrench.

I just saw it on discount tires site. Nissan manual does say 80 now that I look. I've always done 90 so can't stop now as the studs stretch. I do want my spacers tighter than the wheels though, call me crazy.
