Wheel nut torque?

Quick question...

Anyone know the correct torque setting for the wheel nuts?

To be sure, you mean the lug bolts and not spindle nuts correct?

Lug bolts are 120nm or 88.5 lb/ft

Er.... the set of four that you'd remove to get the wheel off - lug nuts I think

Thanks!

Sorry, have to be sure.
They're lug bolts though, not nuts.
