I have a 89 5.0L vert and I was wondering does anyone know what the torque specs are for when putting back on the wheels?

The owners manual does not list it....though I was able to find this info for my 05 GT.

Does 100 ft lbs sound right to anyone??

if its the same size nut as on the 05 then 100 should do it.

I've always done 90-100 ft-lbs on all of my cars, and never had a problem.

I googled it and it came up with they should be anywhere from 85 to 105 ft-lbs.

I use 100.

I asked at Discount Tire last time I was there and he said they use 100 too.

Thanks again for verifying!! I figured out the right amount torque does not require too much effort for you to take off with a lug wrench. If you gotta resort to an impact gun....then I figure it is on too tight.
