About 76ft/lbs of torque... That's for most cars.

yup, I torque all my cars to about 80 ft lbs.

on stock steel wheels it doesn't really matter too much though as long as they're tight.

For 12mm x 1.5 lugs, which are what you have....the spec'd torque is 70 to 80 lbs/ ft. So, 75 is perfect.

Yep 76ft/lbs is the usual. That's the recommended torque setting in both the Haynes manual and the factory Corolla manual.

Always remember to tighten/torque them in the correct order. Top one first, bottom one second, right one third and the left one last.

.... star pattern... tightening sequence....

If you over torque you risk stripping the stud and/or nut. I had too many of those to fix when I used to work at Sears. Some wheels had to grounded out so we could get access to the lug to cut or smash it off. Customer pays.
