You'll need 90 ft-lbs of wheel torque on Your 2015 Honda Pilot. Youre never supposed to use an impact gun to put lug nuts on because theres no way to accurately control the torque thats being applied. Excessively tightened lug nuts can strip the threads, distort brake rotors, damage the wheel, and possibly shear off the lug stud. Insufficiently tightened lug nuts can come loose, with catastrophic consequences.Lug nuts are made of metal and are frequently designed and treated to prevent rust. However, over time they may develop rust as their protective coatings wear off or if they are neglected. Fortunately, since lug nuts are hardy so that they will hold the wheels of Your car in place, they can also stand up to some pretty serious rust-removal efforts.
(torque equals force x arm), there fore 45 lbs. On a 2 foot bar will equals 90 ft. Lbs. T=FxA or 90 ft, lbs.= 45 lbs. X2ft.

The actual spec is 94 ft lbs. I snug them lightly with a small electric impact gun, set it on the ground, torque to 100 because it makes sense to me. I know some people freak out about torque specs but I'm a professional technician that works on every make and model and I've never had a wheel come loose, brake rotor warp etc...they also say you should return for a retorque after 100 miles and nobody does that. I don't do that on my wife's vehicle and she's still alive because I love her! Most importantly, use a torque wrench you can trust. Or just have a 100 lb person stand on the tighteny bar thingy in a criss crossy pattern
