Default lug torque?

hey guys!

thanks to fedex the pony will be getting a new set of shoes today - axis shine rims wrapped in toyo rubber. however, i am definitey a newb, and i'm wondering how much i should torque the lugs. ford has told me it depends upon the rims, and aixs has told me it depends upon the stud size... so, any advice?

90-110 Ft-lbs. is good. I torque mine to 100Ft-Lbs.
