Lugnut Torque

This may be a silly question, but does anyone know how many foot pounds the lugnuts should be torqued? I didn't see anything in the manual about that, but may have missed it. Thanks

The owner's manual recomends between 65 - 87 ft/lbs of torque. I was watching them PDI the first RX-8 they received and I noticed that they torqued the nuts to 85 ft/lbs.
