I have a 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback.

The owner's manual doesn't give me any torque settings whatsoever. :( It says: take it to the dealer(stealer)ship.

Does anyone have the correct torque setting for the wheels?
THANK YOU!

Protege5's and NC Miata's which are 5 lug are 80-85 ft/lbs

From the workshop manual for the 2004-09 models:


1. When installing the wheels and tires, tighten the wheel nuts in a criss-cross pattern to the following tightening torque.

Tightening torque
88.2-117.6 N·m {9.00-11.99 kgf·m, 65.06-86.73 ft·lbf}

I can't imagine that specs would've changed that much for the 2010 for torquing the lug nuts.
