*****BORA WHEEL SPACERS up to 25% discount*****

where can i get a set of the ET nuts? or do i have to order them thru all-pro?
NAPA or AUTO ZONE they don't have them. and why didn't they come with the wheel spacers in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thats AWESOME! The question comes in with the spacers 1.5" or bigger. because about a 1/4" of the nut doesn't go on the stud. and for some, like myself, that doesn't sit well in my head.lol. but i'm glad it worked out for you! i think with the extended lug it will be better.

 

you happen to take a picture of that? I have the 1.25" on the front and am FAR from complete thread engagement .. already got some ET nuts because of how far off it was, hard to believe yours were all the way on.

 

how many pounds are you guys torqing these things?

 

I got mine today, I'll install them prior to installing my new tires

 

this may be a stupid question, but here goes. how important is it to torque them to the exact foot pounds. i don't have a torque wrench handy, but i will get one if i need one.

 

it is important as under-torquing will risk the lug nuts falling off and over-torquing will risk the factory lugs sheering off due to over-stress.

 

Sooo how many pounds do the nuts get with said torque wrench?

 

I usually go 84, but your factory manual should tell you.

 

thank you, sir

 

I received mine today and put them on.

No issues with mine in anyway. Bolted up correctly, all studs even length and no threading issues.

I have some pics and will put up a product review in a couple of days.

As for torque specs I as well went to 84 to tighten spacers to truck and 78 to tighten wheel to spacers. I try not to stretch the bolts that see consistent on and off such as the lugs holding the wheels. Just a preference of mine.

I believe 84 is factory spec off the top of my head.

Took it for a spin, no vibes at all.

 

I did not.
I did take some of the install of the rear 1" spacers I bought. I actually had to cut down my factory studs a tad to fit them within the spacers, and then still had at least an 1/8" of stud sticking out past the lug to the spacer. If you'd like, I could up-load them

I did 85 ft/lbs on all studs, both spacer and wheels.

 

I take it everyone with 3/4" spacers are cutting the studs shorter?

 

I am running stock sport wheels with 3/4" spacers.

On the mounting face of the wheels there are recesses where the lugs that are longer than the 3/4" spacer sit.

I believe all factory wheels have them some aftermarket might not. Pull off your wheel and check the back side/mounting face and see if yours have them.

 

mine don't have full thread contact, and it worries me a little. i'll be using red loctite either way. what problems could arise if the nuts don't get full contact? there's probably a quarter inch still showing. these are 1.25" spacers. (or am i just worrying too much?)

 

Not sure what my rims look like on the backside. They are not stock rims though. Will know tomorrow when i get the spacers...pull the wheels off then.

Thanks

 

the vendor told me that it would have enough grab if it had 6-8 turns of the nut. Just what they said......

 

My studs were over-torqued EDIT: stressed (since members are posting this pic claiming it was caused by over torqing my lug nuts) plus add the number of times I have taken my wheels on and off caused catastrophic failure while driving on the interstate ..

 

did the studs shear off?

 

Sheared right off..from the second it felt like something was wrong to the tire actually coming off was seconds..sucked ass chasing a loose wheel down the side of the interstate
