As long as you tightened them evenly and did so with the car off the sitting position enough to allow the wheel to seat properly as you tightened the nuts, you should be fine.

if you are going to be doing this stuff yourself for the foreseeable future go invest in a torque wrench... maybe go to KMS and see what they have?

I usually do 80-90ft/lbs... which is about half my weight with a foot long tire iron. Too lazy to whip out and adjust a torque wrench for something like that.

IIRC My service manual says steel wheels 75lbs Aluminum wheels 90lbs. The aluminum is softer so you must toque them a little more to keep them from loosening off.
