i torque my alloy rims on my rzr to 65 ft lbs.
Lug Nut Torque
My lug nuts were at 40 FT LB after about 35 miles. The spec is 54. The Kawasaki Teryx uses the same 12mm x 1.25 lug nuts and my 08 spec was 101 FT LB I knew it was too high, my Ford F150 is 90. I set mine at about 85. The next year the spec was lowered to about 90. Honda uses a 12mm x 1.50 stud with a torque of about 98. I can see why the Viking 6 seat model has problems. The Viking rear wheels had the wrong taper, should be a 60 degree.
I set my Wolverine at 80 FT LB with the ITP aluminum wheels. I will check with my dealer to see the torque spec on the Viking special edition with the aluminum wheels.

I generally torque everything I have based on the German philosophy...make it Gut-en-teit! But seriously though, I can't say I have ever used a torque wrench on lug nuts. I just do it by feel with my impact I have been using for years. I don't try to rip the studs off, but I don't just snug it either. Never had a problem with any trucks/equipment before.
