Spacers Torque?
So I got some spacers, Wondering what is the optimal torque for them?
Some of my friends say 80lb is fine, others say go factory which is 89lb and some even said anything over 100-120lbs. I know nothing about the torque for spacers, whether whats too much for over torque or whats too little? Help please! Thank you |

Just as an FYI, the proper way to mount spacers is a PITA but it's important to do right.
Torque to the cars recommended torque of 89 lb-,ft in this order Torque spacers Torque wheels Run 100 miles or so... Re-torque spacers Torque wheels Run 100 miles or so Re-torque wheels |

Yeah, the thing is, everything has to be re-torqued after 100 miles or so. When you remove the wheels to re-torque the spacers after the first 100 miles, it makes it so you have to re-torque the wheels after 100 miles after that because they were removed.
Yo dog, I heard you like torque.... |

85-90lb.ft, used it all year around , even on my winter set due to my brembo addition. Do a star pattern to tighten. Same torque on the wheels .

That's only the first 100 miles. Not every 100 miles. Each time you mount the wheels and/or spacers they need to be retorqued
