...and Haynes says 125!  I think as long as you are within that range and
have them all evenly torqued, you'll be fine.  As for alloy wheels, 125 is
kind of high from my experience.  I know Porsche magnesium alloys can handle
104 ft-lbs, but unless the Vanagon wheels have steel inserts, I would
hesitate to tighten them much over 100 without getting more information.  Any
late-model Bentley owners have a spec for alloys?
