Just had to change a wheel - nice long screw right through the tyre (fortunatly not one of the new ones I just had fitted). However I'm not sure of the value the bolts should be torqued to - can anyone help?

Car is Leon Mk1 110 TDi SE with 16" alloys.

I knew it wasn't psi but couldn't think of abreviation of lb/ft but thought on LCR it was over 110 lb/ft, probably did not check the units but did them to 85 anyway wench is set at that for the Lotus
