Does anyone know the torque for the wheel lug nuts? Thanks.

Open your Operator's manual and turn to page 399. 96 lb-ft or 130 Nm.

I believe that that torque number is for the spare tire, not the alloys. My tire shop looked it up and his book stated it should be 81

the torque setting is 110 ft lbs

You guys go with what you wish. My 05 SL500 manual states on page 308 and 399 that the proper torgue is 96 lb-ft. (130 Nm). Torque past that to your hearts content.... Good luck.
