Default Wheel Adapter Torque Question

Hey guys...should I have anything to worry about here? Installed a set of Coyote 1.5" wheel adapters last night, purchased from American Muscle. They are 6061-T6 billet aluminium. I had recalled reading a number of threads about torquing the adapter to the wheel at 150 ft-lbs. A buddy of mine and I did both our trucks, as we both ordered sets at the same time, so we just went with 150 ft-lbs, then put the tires/wheels back on and torqued to the normal spec of 150 for those too. Later on, I got reading the instruction sheet more carefully and noticed that they only suggest around 95 ft/lbs for 14mm lug. Now I drove to work this morning, terrified..lol...should I take the wheels off and loosen the nuts on the adapters and only torque to 95 ft-lbs, or will I be safe at 150 ft-lbs without worrying about studs pulling through or some of those horror stories that I have read about. Thanks for your help!
