When the carpet doesn't match the drapes, how much torque?

[davepl]

If you're using wheels that are not original equipment for your truck, what do you use for torque specs?

I'm using late-model GM 8-bolt wheels; I believe the torque value on the truck they came on was 140 ft/lbs

The shop manual for a '72 says they should be 75 ft/lbs. It doesn't list anything different for 3/4 ton, one ton, 5 bolt, 6 bolt, or 8 bolt. Just says "Tighten wheel nuts to 75 ft lbs"

I'm using brand new Dorman 9/16" studs and new GM tapered lug-nuts.

I would -think- I would use the value for the wheel & nut combination, but how do I know that's not going to bend the hell out of my rotor? Probably OK on an 8-bolt, but doubling the torque value on a 5-bolt can't be good.

Discuss.
