The proper lug nut torque for a 1/2 inch wheel stud would be 75-85 foot lbs, according to my Dexstar representative.

It is important to re-torque the lug nuts after 10 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles and then monthly after that.

I'll link you to some of our Wheel/Tire help articles for future reference.
