I've always felt that "as tight as you can get them by hand" is the torque spec for Budd lug nuts. The trick is getting the tire shops to NOT run them down hard with their 1" impact wrench. Going full bore with a 1" impact wrench will not strip the nuts or break the studs, but it'll make it impossible to change a tire by the side of the road. I want to be able to get them loose without having to hang onto the bed sides and jump up and down with all my weight on the end of the bar.
