I have a set of shinynuts on a 98 4.5, with 18" spiders. They have to be tightened to 108Nm or 80lbft torque. Hope this helps.

Hmmm, they tightened mine when wheel balancing yesterday to 110 NM torque. This was because non of the charts showed the correct settings, however, once I know them they said to bring it back.
If 108nm is 80lbs ft, is that correct for standard 4.5 wheels and spiders? im on std 17".

Any advice pls? Do I need to worry about 80lbs'ish ft torque for my wheel nuts being applied?
I have been told about 70/75lb is fine, that was without knowing exactly what mine were tightened to.

An extra 5-10 lbft is nothing to worry about.
