I am looking to check the torque specs for my '04 Mustang GT wheels and was curious as to how many ft-lbs. it should be set at?
Thanks.

Almost any car made right now the target torque is 100ftlbs.
They're all like 95 +/- to 105 +/-.
100ftlbs is the safe standard.

Agreed. I tighten the ones on my '03 to 100 ft-lbs. Try to set the torque equal for all 5 nuts.
If you haven't trashed those junk factory locking nuts yet, it should be the last one tightened and the first one loosened (because they can't withstand the full torque).

Thank you for the replies.
I will make sure the lug nuts are all torqued to 100 ft-lbs.
