Make sure for the lugs that you do the proper criss cross pattern or yourll bend the wheel also

wheel lugs don't take 80lb of torque. you would snap the bolt.

Haynes manual says 80 foot lbs. on the lug nuts, can't find it on my Chilton manual. I put mine on at 100 ft. lbs.

The general ft. lbs. of torque on any cars is about 100. If the stud breaks at 80 foot lbs., you have some bad studs.

For sure.

Every spec. I've ever read on lug nut torque called for something in the range of 80lb - 90 lbs. This is a pretty common practice across the different makes out there.
