Wheel lug torque specs

Does anyone know the factory spec torque for the E55's lug nuts? I am replacing a rim and want to make sure it is tightened to spec. Thanks.

For most newer Mercedes, 85 ft-lbs is good. Just make sure you tighten them in a star pattern and that the car is on the ground when torquing them down.

According to my conversion calculator, that is 94 lbs.

Sorry to ask a follow-up question, but is the 130Nm from a service manual or some other souce. Just want to make sure that I do it correctly and not over-torque them.

Thanks.
