Default Lug Nuts Torque????

When I put my wheels back on how much torque am I supposed to apply when putting the lug nuts back on? Thanks in advance.

just tight them to the point where you cant go any further,

no its not wrong to tight them really hard, but dont over do it with a gun, use your hands

I used to do that too, until it stripped the studs in the back and I had to replace them.

tightening them with an impact gun too hard can warp your rotors. *i think*
