wheel torque.

sorry cars up in the air right now and i cant find or remember how much im supposed to torque the wheels down.

About 5 Duh duhs of the 1/2" impact.

I believe it was like 78 ft/lbs or something like that, I just do 80 and call it a day.

Manual says 78 ft/lbs, but the chart at discount tire says 80 ft/lbs. I torque to 80 and haven't had catastrophic failure yet

i do 85 on bmw's and benz's at work

Right, but he's asking for torque specs for a Toyota car... Either way, anything above 78 within reason will be fine. Don't want to deform stuff down there with stupid amounts of torque.
