Torque for Wheel lug nuts

Anyone know where I can find the torque spec for tightenting the lugs on my wheels? I've got a 1994 F150? Thanks.

In the owner's manual, a Haynes manual, or at most parts stores. Even on a pack of aftermarket replacement lug nuts.

Torque the lug nuts to 100 FT-lbs. No more, no less and don't use an impact wrench on lug nuts.

Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

If they are the aluminum rims you will want to retorque them at about 100 miles. As mustangt221 said 100ftlbs is the norm.
