Ian,

You're referring to the lug nut torque, right?  51 Ft-Lbs is the hard and fast
rule.  No more, no less.  

When I replaced my tires last summer I just took the wheels to the shop, had
them mount and balance the new tires, and put the wheels on myself.  Of course
this was after refinishing the wheels.
