Does anyone know (I'm sure you will) what kind of Torque setting should be used for the rims? I need to get some locking wheel nuts and want to make sure that they are done up properly.

TIA

Its specified as 55-60 ftlb for 5 stud, I seem to recall about 70-75 ftlb for 4 stud.

I normally put 70 lbft on the wheel nuts of my griff 500. Much more than that and I can't get them off with the wrench that came with the car.
