The factory bolts say 85 - 90 ft/lbs right on them.

Big O has always done all my other cars at 85 ft/lbs so I was assuming this was a standard

GM spec for torquing the lug nuts is as I stated above. This comes directly from the GM service manual for the H3.
Now, I haven't checked, but I would assume they use lug nuts, not lug bolts. I might be wrong, but the last time GM used lug bolts it was a disaster.
This torque of 140 N.m matches the torque on every GM vehicle I have ever worked on; other than trucks which requires 190 N·m (140 lb ft) - six and eight stud patterns. So, I would go with the 140 N.m, but it is your vehicle. torque to whatever you desire.

Thanks, but I can be wrong. I just try and not speak unless I have the info or some experience.
Not sure what those markings are on the lugs that Webb70 mentions. Too damn cold outside and take a look, so if I can remember, I'll look at the two we have in the back and see if there are any markings on them.
If they are stamped incorrectly, that could cause some confusion.

The lug nuts on both vehicles in our garage our marked "METRIC 6P," which is the lug identifier, not a torque spec.
