Lug Nut Torque Specs for 08MS3 and 05MS3

[ZooMIN3]

I'm searching and can only find the wheel size/offset info on our cars. I need to know what are the torque numbers for tightening lug nuts for a 2008 MazdaSpeed3 and a 2005 Mazda 3s.

I've even googled it.... perhaps I've overlooked it, but someone who knows the torque specs, please help me out. Thanks.

Proper Lug nut Torque

Per the 2007 Manual, page 7-11 the wheel lug nuts should be tightened to 66-86 ft pounds (89-117 newtons). This is the only reference in the entire manual regarding lug nut torque.

Cheers!

Actually its 66-86 ft/lbs. I think maybe you meant Nm? So many crazy torque readings...

Thanks guys - I updated my original post just incase someone looks at it and stops reading. It is interesting that some manufacturers specify numbers in the low hundreds.
