76 lb-ft. Same as every other Toyota for the last 30 years or so (except the Landcruiser and Lexus equivalents.)

Does anyone have a picture of the correct pattern to tighten these Lugs?

tighten as you draw a star, or just go around like a circle.

the ideal way of tightening your lugs is the "star" pattern.. it ensures that the wheel is torqued evenly all around.. I set mine at 80ft/lbs

I do 100 ft-lbs since I use anti-seize on the lugs.

I just use an airgun and go until it stops... It's terrible... I actually USED to care many years ago...

I'm so glad I will never be in the market for a used IS350...
I don't know of a single owner on this forum that seems to take worse care of their cars...

Might be referring to a Snap On.
Regardless, hope all y'all that are overtorqueing don't get warped rotors later on.
