Spacers Torque? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hentai · 10-23-2016, 03:36 PM

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

So i would have to retorque them every 3-5days? a 100 miles is really not that much at all,

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 .

do you have to retorque them every 100 miles or so?

guybo · 10-23-2016, 06:51 PM

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
