I spoke with our resident tire and wheel expert and he said that for wheel bolts you will just follow the same torque specs as you would for a lug nut of the same size. Take a look at the chart I have included with lug nut torque specs. Based on your hub, tire, and wheel sizes you likely have 1/2 inch wheel bolts. For 1/2 inch torque them to 75-85 foot pounds. If they are not 1/2 inch then follow the included chart.
