Default Wheel Torque?

I've an '05 GT with the stock wheels, the ones that don't have the "Mag" look.

Any idea of proper torque? I rotated the wheels today, I recalled using 100 Ftlbs. the other times, but, wanted to check.

TIA

Have you tried the Owners Manual? I know the Bullits and Fanblades on the '06 and '07's call for 100 ft lbs..

100 ft/lbs is right.

I torque mine to 100 ft-lbs as well. I think the exact number may be 98 ft-lbs though.

Thanks for the replies. I don't do all that much on the car, getting too old and have bad feet. But, if it can be done by me, I do it. Oil changes, brakes, upkeep, rotate tires, and such.

Thanks again for the replies.
