Torque Specs 2002 Lightning

Does anyone know (not what you heard) what the actual foot pounds of torque are specified by ford for the factory alloy spoke wheels on a 2002 Lightning. I was on a trip with my F250 and rotated the tires. A tire shop mech told me 95lbs. Later I found out the factory recommended 165: so all my wrench goes up to is
150, but that's a far cry from the 95 I drove 1500 miles on. Any help is appreciated,

I believe it is around 150-155. It is definately NOT 95.

Take a look at the lug nuts themselves. The ones on my 98 and 01 had the ft lbs marked on the lug nuts themselves. Also check in the owners manual. That's where mine was listed. I think it is going to be 150 ft lbs.

150 ft./lbs. It's in the Owner's manual and on a safety page wrapped around your jack. Mine were torqued to 140 ft./lbs. from the factory.
