Wheel nut torque setting

[jakesbrakes]

Having just had a Tyre change via airtool equipped tyre warehouse
have now checked the torque is now showing 130lbs.
Cant but think might be a bit high.
Does anyone know for sure what torque setting a 215/45 16" alloy wheel on Ibiza Fr 2018 should be ?
Any help appreciated.

It’s 120Nm

Or 90lbs-ft as that seems to be what the scale on your torque wrench is.

Edit:- or even 90 ft lbs!

Ah thats more like it .
Not at all happy with tyre warehouse use of air tools am sure damage could be done with excess force on alloy wheels.
Thanks for info

Not unusual for these kinda clowns, we equipped each of our techs with a torque wrench set to the required rate to use, they don't check their own work, another tech does that and countersigns the job sheet, still at least the wheels wouldn't have fallen off I suppose, but a puncture on a dark wet night might mot have been fun.
