140 is in between? Interesting! I called discount tire where I bought my tires and they told me 110#.

Thanks,

I think the range is 85 to 135 so 100 or 110 sound reasonable. Don't quote me I am going by what I read in an older car service manual but I recall it seems every car I have had withalluminum or alloy wheels the torque was 100 foot lbs.

I use 110 ft/lbs, and re-torque them after a couple days to be sure.

I have always used 110ft/lbs and haven't lost a wheel yet! Hope I don't now.

That has to be max torque....probably 85 to 145 or maybe 100 to 145. 145 seems awful tight for rims.
