Wheel stud torque setting?

Anyone know what the recommended torque setting is for tightening wheel the wheel studs. I've been away for two months so I'm finally taking off my snows.

It's in the owner's manual under tires/wheels - my 225QR was 90 ft-lb

RTFM. I always wanted to use that. See pages 215 to 219 in the manual. For the "bolt(s)"

Torque setting.

I just woke up so don't take this the wrong way but -- If your going to the manual to find the page

number for the guy, just go that extra step and relay the torque settings. I do realize that two correct answers were given here but this guy has done nothing wrong. Just stick to picking on the crusty old english teacher

Not to be picky (oh, so I'm being picky) - the Bentley Repair Manual says 89ft-lb or 120Nm

*Everyone knows* that 89ft-lbs is the limit.
One more foot-pound and the bolts will
snap off (honest/true!! as seen on TV!! :-)
Just kidding, either 89 or 90 is fine (*snap!*).
