Different vehicles call for different torque specifications. If your unsure then 100 Ft/Lbs is usually a pretty safe bet. Most smaller cars and sedans only call for 80 Ft/Lbs, but 100 Ft/Lbs is not going to hurt them. If you are torquing lugnuts on larger trucks that use a 7/8" size socket then 120-140 Ft/Lbs of torque would be a good idea.
