Default Maybe stupid question??? Lug nut torque difference on slicks?

Hey guys, I have m&h slicks with bogart rims, i was just wondering should i torque the lugs to a higher torque, or should i just torque them to stock specs?
I have a 97 civic ex, tire size is 8 x 22 x 13.

thank you

I always torque my bogarts to 85lb/ft and have never had a problem. Thats what I torque all wheels to. I don't believe in just hammering them all on with an impact like some monkeys do.

I use my 3/4" impact gun and hammer away till the bolts stretch!
Seriously, 85 ft/lbs is what I torque my wheels to, including my Bogarts.
