Torquing wheel spacers
Hey guys
I need some help!
I just got a set of 15mm kics spacers and I was just wondering how are you supposed to torque them?
I know you are supposed to torque the wheels at 73-93 ft lbs does this change at all?
The spacers have the nuts attached on them, its this exact spacer.

1. Throw the spacers onto your hub, tighten the lugs to the correct torque spec 80ft lbs.
2. Throw on your wheels and tighten those lougs to the correct torque spec.
3. Drive around for a bit
4. Take off the wheels
5. Check and re-torque the lugs attaching the spacers to your hub
6. Attach wheels back on and tighten to 80 ft lbs
7. Drive around
8. Re-check torque on lugs attaching your wheels.
