It will be in your owners manual, but I believe it is around 80ft-lbs. When you are finished torqueing your wheels always make sure you return your torque wrench setting to near zero (not below), if you don't the internal springs will take a set and loose their accuracy. I know cause I used to repair and calibrate torque wrenches.

That's what I thought too. My buddies didn't believe me when I said that.
