    So, just installed some spidertrax 1.25 spacers I picked up from another member here. Post:image.jpg Pre:image.jpg

    Most people won't even be able to tell. But I like it. Anyway, for some reason, I remembered the torque spec for the lugs to be 90lb/ft. A few days after the install, I looked it up and spidertrax specs are only 75 lb/ft of torque. Question is, do I need to go back and loosen the lugs? I have no experience with these and absolutely don't want any problems or mishaps. Thanks in advance....

    I know the spacers I got from allpro had spec of 90#. They recommended torque, drive, retorque, drive... Until the nuts haven't loosened at all. To me, to answer your question the main thing is consistant torque #s, but knowing how particular I am I'd probably loosen them up and retorque only after I reverified the spec.
    Also, I used a antisieze on the studs to get a good consistant torque value. Some guys go the opposite way a use loctite but my belief is after initial tightening and it sets up how do you know that the nut is actually tight to the spacer or just tight on the stud when it come time to retorque? I know you didn't ask for this info but I figured why not?

    No, thanks for the insight. I also did use locktite on the studs. Been working nights for a few days now. I'll retorque probably tomorrow or the next day. Thanks for the response.
