Wheel Torque settings

[r53s65e90]

I contacted the folks at tirerack after my last silly post. They were quicker than I thought and had to say this:
--------
Hello,

Thanks for the email.

The lug nut torque specification for your vehicle is 88 foot pounds.

If you have any other questions or need assistance placing an order, please feel free to let me know.
---------

I trust this number.

I phoned my service department back and they did indeed mean 120 NM and not 120 ftlb. I have now adjusted the torque on all my wheels.

Thanks for pointing out my error people.

120 pounds?! At that torque, you should've snapped your studs! LOL #SBJ

I had a set of wheel studs snap on me on the track due to the tire shop over torqueing the wheels....DO NO OVER TORQUE.

Highly doubt 120 lbs would snap a stud...
