Lug Nut torque specs

Hi all. I am upgrading to the 17" Cosmos wheels from 16" loop spoke. My owners manual only mentions wheel nut torque specs for a spare tire (101). Does anyone know how tight I should torque the wheel nuts for on these wheels?

Also - just confirming, since I have the 16" tire pressure label, I checked my OM and it says: for under 100 mph and 5 door S with 17" wheels, the pressures should be 39 psi, cold. Is that what your tire pressure label card says if you have 17" wheels?

Can I get a new tire pressure label? Does anyone bother with that when they change wheels?

Thanks!

103 Ft lbs
Start with 50 ft lbs in a 1/3/5/2/4 pattern, then go back again at 101ft lbs.

Best done without weight on the wheels.

I have the 17" Cosmos, and the label says 38 F 35 R

The tightening torque is 101 lb ft/140 Nm. 2014 F56 Owners Manual
It is exactly the same as you will find in the 2017 F55 Manual

Check Mobility section of your owners manual for correct tire pressure, it isn't the same from F56 to F55S.

Thanks. On page 202 of my OM for 2017 model, it says 101/140, but that is the section and instructions for mounting an emergency wheel (the spare that they offer under the hatch floor). I wasn't sure if the same specs applied to a non-emergency wheel. Not referenced in the 2017 manual for some reason. I guess they made amendments from the 2014 book. Probably don't want DIYers.

Its page 189 where I find the tire pressure info for F55 S model. 39/39 for speeds under 100 mph.
