Every manufacturer/model has different torque specs on lugs. Best bet is to look it up. I have a chart that came w/ my set of torque sticks that covers pretty much everything out there. It can be from 65ft/lbs on up to 160 ft/lbs for most vehicles. Worse comes to worse you can pound the stud through the lug, but that would be a last resort.
