Just hit em with an impact while off the ground, lower it to where the tires are barely touchin, enough not to move when you put a break over bar on it. I don't know the settings but I do this everytime and have yet to have a problem

since your in the rust belt apply a rust preventative around the hub snout that protrudes throught the rotor and also to the rotor mounting surface and rim mounting surface.

That way when your rotate your tires they come off easy and you won't have to clean corrosion build up off the rotors or rim mounting surfaces.

Are you fkkn serious????

I was hoping for a "real" answer not some hope for the best joke retort.

Most tire shops who are worth their salt will use a "Torque Wrench" for the final setting of the lug nut.
