lug nut torque

Doe's anyone know what the torque is for lug nuts on a 2WD V-10 Excursion with stock aluminum wheels? Doing front rotors and bearings tomorrow and don't want to warp anything from the get go.

Thanks for that info. Dang I think I've been using 125 ft/lbs. Good info guy's. Never hurts to ask, I don't care how long you've been doing it. (wrenching that is)

155lb ft certainly works! Spec is actually 150-165 lb ft.

I do it in at least a 3 step process.

Finger tight then;
125lb ft (all);
160lb ft (most my trq wrench goes to)

Bought tires from a buddy, he installed the tires, I did the wheels.
