    Have looked and am seeing various correct torque measurements for the lug nuts on 3rd gen with Methods. Does anyone know the exact torque? 97 or 100 or 95? Thanks.

    Factory torque for aluminum wheels is 97 ft lbs. That's what I would go with since your methods are likely aluminum too, right?

    Don’t over torque them, they will break off in the most inoperative time. Middle of nowhere!!
