Thought 140nm

That's what the book says. Page 277, bottom left (on my electronic copy). Will be the same whether spare or main type wheels as it's the same lug nuts....

100lb/ft is approx 136Nm so not much in it.

I got one from here. Doesn't have the very latest versions, and US models, but the manuals match in all the critical areas anyway. It's got the 35d which is still avail in the US, even though we now have the better one....

I think they've got their ft/lbs and nm crossed over.
