lug nut torqueing question

hello all, I went in and greased my brake calipers and pad mounting surfaces on my sable and torqued the lug nuts to spec(100 ft lbs). is there any need after a certain number of miles to re-torque the lug nuts?
I saw 2 pickup trucks on the side of the freeway this weekend sitting on the brake drums without a wheel.

Five hundred miles is what I would recommend. But at 100ft lbs you should be ok if you forget

Just shooting from the hip, I've always gone with steel wheels (that aren't new, and I am guessing yours are not because sounds like you did a brake job) --steel wheels probably OK at 100' pounds (check owners manual)...aluminum wheels I never trusted and agree with the 500 miles (or less) recheck....

I own 29yr old Volvo I bought brand new. Tq is 63. Never retorqued after removing a wheel.
Some guys just don't want to get back to their car and see there jack was stolen.

63 ft lbs...wow...steel wheels?

Yes. Volvo recommends against turning any rotors. If not to spec(63) then warpage. If a shop does anything with the wheels, I check with torque wrench when I get home. Dodge and Buick both have 100 ft lbs.
