I usually tighten mine down with a 3/4 impact gun until it stops/the stud breaks.

i think 87 is ideal.
maybe 86.5

and steelies or alloys

andrew's right...torque range for most nissans is 76-87, and generally, you want to max that out, so i always do 87. 4 or 5 lug makes no difference. (i work in a tire shop soo i have most torque specs memorized, and what size lug/bolt each make and model is..its kinda queer, but it makes for interesting convo's with the ladies)
