The lug nut torque on a Chevy Malibu iS-100 foot pounds. You should use a calibrated torque wrench when You are tightening Your lugs to make sure that You get this accurate. It is important to make sure Your lugs are properly torqued to prevent them from coming loose. You can always use an impact wrench when You are removing lug nuts, but You should not use one while installing them. An impact wrench can provide too much torque and that can lead to stripping out Your lugs or Your wheel studs. In the event that this happens You will need to replace them with new ones which can get costly. If You do not have a torque wrench then use the tire iron and a piece of pipe.
