My earlier comments on difference between front and rear were refering to nut to hub torques and not the wheel nuts. Brain did not process correctly.
The torque on front and rear wheels is the same and in region of 60 to 100ftlbs as per previous posts.

Uneven tightening of lugs on disc brake rotors has been known to cause warping of the rotors. Could possible do the same to a drum to say nothing of loosing a wheel at speed for being too loose.
