you would be fine with 70-85 lb/ft, the wheels are not going anywhere any higher than that and its pointless. and youll be struggling to get them off down the road. You dont need to kill the nuts on, most people think they do for some reason, like , Oh! my wheels are going to fly off. Anti-sieze the threads and bring them up to that area and they will be fine
Yours just might...NO FRICTION MODIFIERS ON WHEEL STUDS. PERIOD.

And the torque for the lugnuts is 95 per the manual...

There's a reason that the stock lug nut wrench is the length it is. It's so you can't torque the crap out of it.
As per previous posts, I guess they recommend 95 lb ft, but anywhere from 80 - 100 and you'll be fine. I think every aluminum rim I ever had on every vehicule I've owned, I've torqued it to just over 80 and there was never a problem.
