Scott,

My Bentley says about wheel torque values:

1980 up to Nov 1984 - 170 Nm/125  ft-lbs
 From Nov 1984 - 180 Nm/1333 ft-lbs

If one doesn't use book values - what would one use. I know for many
"bolts" there are "standard" torques, but I wouldn't think that would
apply to lug bolts/nuts. Those values are what they are as determined by
the engineers. I only hope they got it right. By Guess and By Golly is a
bit scarey!
