That's what they recommend!

[nms1991]

Normal automotive style steel wheels a torqued to 110 to 120 lbs.

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with anyone, just saying that that is high. I'm sure 50-60 would be plenty. A good general rule is at least 10 turns of the lug. But ya, do whatever the book says.

Is that 10 turns if it is fine thread or coarse thread? 10 turns does not sound very scientific.
