Hey guys really quick question because I am putting my lug nuts on right now.... I have the Gorilla 20 pack of locking lug nuts.... What should I torque them to?

GM factory Spec is 140 foot lbs
with that being said I have my gorrillas torqued to I think 120 foot lbs. 140 just seemed too damn tight. I should add with aftermarket rims your results will vary.

The wheels on the SS get torqued to 140
On the ZL1, they get torqued to 110. |

Check your owners manual, on my 2012 it stated the lug nuts with the blue tint was to be torqued at 110, silver at 140.
I have a 45th so I'm assuming it has something to do with the rims??

A buddy of mine owns a tire shop and he told me to torque them to 110 but the most important thing is to retorque them after about 25 miles, and again after about a week. I checked mine after a week and found that about half of them were below 110.

Tighten until it screams, then half a turn more.
