Wheel/Jack Question

Wheel/Jack Question
I've got 2 quick questions. I have new 18" wheels arriving tomorrow. They supplier (discounttiredirect.com) said they are going to include lugs and hub rings for the MDX.
questions:
1. how much do I torque the new wheels? I was guessing 80 lbs...
2. I was going to purchase a floor jack. I've always wanted one since I don't like working with the OEM jacks and my BMW never came with a jack. I saw 2.5 ton jack in Costco for $65 in a case. Would 2.5 ton be enough for my MDX? The Michelin 3.5 ton jack is $130 - big jump for 1 more ton support. Please advise.
Thanks in advance!

1. Check this link: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/...jsp?techid=107
2. 2.5 ton should be enough just make sure you use jackstands.
What year MDX do you have?

man, that's great! thanks for the quick response.
I've got a 2005 MDX. I'll update my profile.
So, you think a 2.5 ton is good? Can I ask what you would use? thanks agian!

Definitely. believe it or not, it's snowing outside so it was good that I kept the snows on so long. I changed my BMW's tires to summers last month and couldn't get out today!
I should have the wheels mounted by Thursday (1st sign of sun this week) and I'll post pic's. Thanks!

Welcome
Congrats on your ride. I drive a -02 TLS and my wife a -04 Mdx touring. I get to drive the MDX once in a while and i really like it. What wheels did you go with?. I have a 2.5 ton floorjack and i had no problems with it. I would not use the OEM jack. In my opinion it's very unstable. Welcome to the forum. F1swede
