Yes...120 lbs as stated. Remember, though, that if you remove your wheels then there is a step up torque procedure you'll need to follow.

First torque is 60 lbs for all lugs, then 90 lbs, then 120 lbs. They also recommend that you pull over at about 25 and 50 miles of your first trip out to re-torque at 120 lbs to make sure all are well seated.

I've had my wheels off several times and have always followed this procedure. There are always a few lugs that benefit from a re-torque. I've found that after a couple re-torques that the lugs stay put. I still check them but they haven't loosened after being well seated.
