Go with Doug B's answer. The 140 ft. lbs. would be on a truck with dual wheels. Single wheels do not require that kind of torque. If you torque the smaller ones to 140 pounds, 1. you would have quite a time getting them off if you had a flat and 2. it would eventually twist the studs off if you did it very often. On the larger studs that require 120 pounds, you COULD go to 140 with little problem but really isn't necessary. Working in the tire shop at Sears, I have seen quite a number of problems that have arisen with the various situations.
