The spec I have is 55 lb/ft or 75 NM. This is for a 2002, I think 2003 is the same.

. . . like for bolting a 2003 Century wheel to a 2003 Century hub? It'* 100lbft or 140Nm per page 5-94 of your owner'* manual:

They will soon work their way loose at 55lbft.

Thanks for the info. I didn't need the lug nut torque setting, I needed the torque setting for the bolts that hold the hub onto the knuckle.
