usually i torque down my wheels to 75. thats whats recommended on regular passenger cars and 80 for suvs. and make sure you tighten them down in a start pattern. but dotn torque them down untill all the lugs are on and the wheel is flush

subie @ 75. I asked the guys at wheel works this question the other day cuz they guy that was there (jason, super cool guy) had a honda there he was working on and it reminded me of a bumper sticker. The one the says "my lug nuts require more torque than your honda makes". thought it was a funny.
