150 to 165. My DeWalt brushless mini 1/2" drive 20v impact delivers that range exactly and will do all four wheels on one of the small batteries...

Dont forget to start at 50, then 100, and then 160... cause if you dont you will warp the rotors every time. I read this somewhere else years ago and it works! No more brake pedal flutter, been doing this for years without an issue

As a general rule whenever using a torque wrench keep in mind the fasteners need to be re-checked, after heat cycling or in this case driving a hundred miles or so, and keep checking until they stabilize.

They won't move much but often they will move. That's why shops used to reef everything down to 150 yard/tons in the first place, the customer couldn't be bothered to bring anything back after a service. Always check wheel lug nuts before going on a road trip! It only takes a few minutes, torque wrench or not.
