how tight should we tighten the four bolts that attach the rim to the wheel?

30 foot pounds would be a good start, IMO. There is no need to graunch down on them so hard that the lug tabs are pulled down into contact with the wheel felloe.

Unless the felloe and/or the rim have been worn where they engage, the lugs should never fit up to the felloe. I tighten each nut in turn, a little at a time, adjusting the runout in the rim as I go. They need to be tight, but not overdone. I check them after use to make sure they are set. After that, treat them as you would your modern car.
Hope this helps.
