   Yeah the torque setting is tight.
   But in seriousness, there isn't one that's really needed just make sure They are tight!

   I know of someone who used the wrong wheel nuts and buggered all 4 hubs twice.
   
   The wheel bolts should go on nice and easy (should be able to screw them in with your fingers) then tighten them to around 90Nm.

   No it's cool, I just do mine up tight as never had a problem with it - but one persons tight is another persons finger tight just a torque gives a rough setting as to how tight it has to be
