A lot of people do between 80-100 ft-lbs. But turning the lugs until they don't turn is too much. Sheer stress will break the threads. Lol.
I don't jump on, or kick, the 4 way...just turn til I can't turn and that's enough...guess I just feel that this isn't some new fangled technology, they're lugnuts, what's worked for 60 yrs is good enough without getting overly scientific
