Should be 90-95 ft. lbs. My 17A has a label above the DS wheel well.

Not meaning to imply that you’re inexperienced but thought that I would add this The standard practice is to torque each nut to 35 ft/lbs, in the “star” pattern to set the lug nuts. Then to 65 ft/lbs, and finally 95 ft lbs. Check them after the first couple hours. They will probably not need much if any adjustment but it doesn’t hurt to check. I check my tire inflation before I start each trip and then usually each day in the morning when the tires are cold if I’m traveling that day. YMMV
