Before you tighten
Use a torque wrench set to the value for your model, tighten in a star pattern, and check the manual for anything specific to your wheels. The lug nut guide covers the order and the passes, the torque wrench guide setting and using the wrench, and lug nuts vs wheel bolts which kind each model has.
Questions
Do all Jeep models use the same lug nut torque?
No: the models read so far differ, so use the value for your model and year.
Where is it in the owner’s manual?
Usually in the specifications chapter, under tires and wheels, or in the section on changing a flat tire. Each model page here links the exact page.
