The tightening spec for our studs is between 80-85 ft.lbs., so why is there a need to torque beyond this range to 95 ft.lbs.?

I know this. I didnt ride around with it at 95. I was testing the strength of the lug itself for durability as to what the op was stating. And to go over some is not a big issue. Plus I do have wheel spacer so I tend to go up to 88 for a peace of mine.

because on the track you can't stop in the middle of the race to re-torque your lugs. i use 80lbs but need to retorque at least once cause the lugs settle and back out a little bit.
