If you have the wheels hub centric, then 65 ft/lb should be adequate.

If your wheels are not hub centric, then you can set to 65 but after you 
drive half a mile or so, re-torque to 65 or 70 as they will work loose.

My wheels were bored to 3" and I use spacers that do not have a locating 
lug - and the lugnuts used to work loose as described above.
