I told them it should be that and they said they could not do that. They had to put what they get from the manufacture.

I fourth that motion - 125 it is. Says so in the manual and I've torqued mine many times (snow/summer) to that amount.

The service manual is not 100% accurate...but in this case it is correct. 125 for the stock wheels. This value varies if using aftermarket wheels/lug nuts.
Yes for us larger guys that screw can be a pain!
08 G8 GT, IOM, Rotofab, HSRK, Kooks LTs, track pipes, Custom engine covers, catch can, radiator cover, and tranny tunnel brace. 402hp/396tq - not bad for a bolt -on car.
8.43 1/8th; 2.01 60' - no skillz.
I don't see how the torque would be different with aftermarket wheels/lug nuts since they are the same size as stock.
I had the same issue. Discount told me 140ft lbs and I read in the manual that it was 125. I just took the wheel off and had them fix that. I reinstalled myself. I don't know how big of an issue it is, other than me breaking an arm to get it back off.
