Wheel Torque spec

I just check the Firestone tire intallation and the torque they show is 110 ft-lbs. I think this value is too high. Does anyone know what is the spec torque value for 17" wheels 245/45/R17 on a 2003 E500?

Thanks,

Only MBs - the best or nothing

The correct specs for MB's 14mm bolts is 96 ft-lbs.

So would the overtorque by Firestone be a problem? Thanks,
