I torqued mine to 15-20lbs with loctite. This is usually around a hard hand tight. Although, I always recommend a small torque wrench and sockets is best.

mine were installed with a dab of red loctite and a cordless impact gun, but i stayed at a holiday inn express last night so i'm an expert with guess-timating torque :redspot

i torqued the 19mm lug nuts at 80 ft lbs with a real torque wrench
