I tighten them to however many pounds my scrawny *** can tighten.

But to each is their own.

I do it to the standard 100 ft-lbs. I've heard you are suppose to do it to 10% of the max but I figure since most cars are fine w/ shops tightening the lug nuts w/ impact wrenches, I'll just stick to the max.
