I work at a Discount Tire Company in Colorado and I recently worked on my car at the shop and our computer states torquing the lugs at 80ftlb... I am not quite sure why the manual says 89. Also the studs on a Subaru/Toyota/Honda are very fragile and really easy to break. I've seen some studs easily breaking off at around 100ftlb. Really the only advise I give to you is that Discount Tire/Americas Tire will bolt on wheel assemblies for free.(Or at the very least my store does!) Oh and also, if a Discount/Americas tire breaks a stud they will call the nearest Brakes Plus and have them put new studs in for you for free!
