Torque Specs for Lug Nuts
I have a 2003 F150 FX4 with 17" cast aluminum wheels. I recently purchased a new air compressor with impact gun. Does anyone know the torque specs for these wheels so that I don't overtighten the lugs?

I believe it's around 95 ft-lbs. There are "torque sticks" that are made for use with impact guns that will break the torque when it reaches a certain range. I've seen the 80-100 lb "stick" used on lug nuts. I personally never use an impact for final tightening and always use a torque wrench to make sure I don't go over.
