Torque?

[Chief101]

This is likely the best place to ask this. How much torque do I put on a lug-nut, the vehicle is a F250 and the wheels are 16.5. I replaced the tires and wheels the other day and came out with some squeaks. I went back and retorqued to 55.8# but havn't testdriven. Will this do? Thanks. Chief Chief
