Default Changing wheels

I'm going to the drag strip tomorrow night and I want to switch my stock rear wheels with a set of Mickey Thompson's I have. I haven't done this before so I was wondering if I need to get a torque wrench and tighten the bolts to a certain amount, or do I just tighten them with regular tools?

I have a cheap needle gauge type torque wrench I use just for tightening my lugnuts. Cost me under $20. You'll of course need a short extension and a socket. The stock rims are supposed to be torqued to 100ftlbs I believe. Not sure about your MT's.
