Need some info. for changing tires

Hi guys, I remember seeing answers for questions I am going to ask here. But I spent like an hour searching for them, and can't seems to find them again. So i guess i just ask again here.

1) What size of socket(for the lugnuts) do i need to take my wheels off??

2) What should be the proper torque for tightening those lugnuts??

Thanks~~

One side question, how do these rims look for winter setup?? I have a AW E90.

I prefer you go with some 18" super silver, hyper black, gunmetal, or matte black VB3s,

here's a few customer pics to help you visualize





But all kidding aside, yes you need a 17mm socket, torque them to 83 ft.lbs, however like the previous poster said, 90 fl.lbs is safe too. Just try not to tighten them past that.
