How much TQ are you guys using when installing Spacers ? Like 80lbs per lug...?
Spacers are the Ichiba 15mm V2.
Thanks in advance.

 

Well.. I Torqued them to 85lbs and used some blue locktite. Had to trim 1/4 inch off the factory studs so they would clear.

 

I would think to torque them the same as you would torque the wheel lugs.

 

bingo.

btw - I had to do the same as you and I've been riding around on them for a couple of months, checked tq, they are staying solid, and this was without locktite. don't stress!

 

Sounds good to me.

 

I did mine 90 lbs.

Any of you guys have any suggestions for torquing the spacers on the front wheels? I had to use the bar from my jack and stick it between the studs and then have it stop against my foot to hold the hub from spinning. I got it to work, but it wasnt the easiest thing to do.

 

Yeah and it's risky in case the bar slips off your foot and goes flying into your fender or something. One "solution" might be to have a second person get in the car and press the brake pedal down....but then again, I don't want anyone getting in/out of the car while I have it jacked up to work on it.

 

stick a bar between the lug nuts that hits against the fender and you are GTG.

 

Have someone stand on the brakes , if your car is properly supported, someone getting in and out is no big deal.
