100 ft lbs for me, every time. The first time I ever took the wheels off of the car when it had 15 miles on the odometer, I cracked them loose with my torque wrench which was set to 90. They DEFINITELY were not at 140.

If my understanding is correct, the purpose of torquing a bolt or lug nut is to induce a certain amount of stretch in the fastener which is what keeps it tight. The huge studs on the 1LE will require a much higher torque than say the studs on a Camry to achieve the correct amount of stretch.
