    Torque sticks.....
    Spacers and wheels are done with them. Never had an issue. And I verify that the sticks are giving proper torque every 6 months.

    I agree to a point but I think the fact that spacers can get worked loose (even slightly) can cause more issues than wheel with less backspacing. Yes, I know people say if you torque the spacers correctly with loctite they don't move, but my personal experience was otherwise. I had to constantly check them to make sure they were tight and got all sorts of vibes, and balancing issues. Haven't had a single issue with 3.5BS wheels.

    Stick a screwdriver between the caliper bracket and caliper going into the rotor slots and that's way easier and won't fall out
