Also on pg 8-37 of your owners manual

85 ft-lb is what I torque the lug nuts on all my cars to. I also try to recheck after the first few hundred miles. The owners manual states the torque should be re-checked at 600mi (1000km) after a tire/wheel change.

More tips:

- Make sure the both hub face and wheel is clean of rust debris, etc. This could cause the wheel to not fit squarely and wobble.- Use anti-seize compound on the hub of the both the axle and wheel. This will prevent the wheel from seizing to the hub. You'll appreciate this the next time you have to change a flat on the side of the road.- Torque the lug nuts in stages, 40 ft-lb then 80 ft-lb. - Never torque adjacent lug nuts one after another. You should be using a 'cross' pattern:

ie: 1,3,5,2,4

...1.....2

5...........3

......4
