Default Lug nut torque

Anyone know the torque for the lug nuts on my '08 Accent with the 16' alloy wheels. I was thinking about 90.

Thanks!

Just an FYI Discount tire has a torque chart for all makes of cars and Hyundai calls for 65-80 lbs. Years are up to '05.

correct, 80 ft lb's on standard calibrated torque wrench, lug nut size is 21MM..thread size is M1.50

tighten in a star pattern and remember to seat the hub's first properly or you'll stretch the stud threads and end up cross threading the lug nuts, and don't forget to scrub the hub's with a steel brush,
