Could someone please tell me the proper torque for the lug nuts on my GMC?
I have found old Oldsmobile torque specs but I don't know if it applies.

The original 16.5" steel wheels call for a 250 ft-lb torque. The manual says to torque them in the sequence:
12 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 9 o'clock, 5 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 7 o'clock, 2 o'clock.
This is without any lubrication on the studs or nuts.
The new replacement Alcoa 16" aluminum wheels call for 140 ft-lbs of torque.
