I think it's something like 80lb/ft. Just make good judgement; don't over tighten and make sure you apply about the same force to all lugs and you should be fine.

80 just like everyone said above, but I usually set it to 82 since 80 seems a bit loose to me.

The recommended is 80 ft/lbs (108.5 newton-meters) so that's what I do.
