Have you checked the owners manual?? I believe ti should be in there.

I did look in the owners manual but i could have over looked it.

Here is a forum about torqueing the wheels on your car, believe it or not they say the factory specs are 158 lbs.

The owners manual said 140FT LBS.

I remember back in the day when they were only 80ft lbs :shock:

It's the advent of alloy wheels that have differing expansion rates than the wheel studs.
Ran into that issue as a constant when I was doing aircooled VW's
