Has anyone actually seen a documentation of 80 in the manual? Because from what I remember it only said 80 for the spare. When I went to various tire shops I noticed that Acura gave them spec for 85.

Actually in the FSM it's not 80 ft lbs., it's 79.6 ft lbs., but I'd say 80 is close enough.

Over torquing the wheels can lead to (or speed up) rotor warping.
