Torque

The manual says to torque the lug nuts to 88.5 lb/ft or 120Nm. These two are not equivalent. 88.5lb/ft is less than 100 Nm. Anybody have any clarification on this?

1 Nm = .737562 lb-ft

120 Nm = 88.50744 lb-ft

about 10 min after I posted that I realized that I was wrong. D'oh. I am in AP calculus, but I can't seem to convert from Nm to ft/lb.
