Spacers or really low offset wheels will decrease wheel bearing life but I'm already at 90k so I plan to change out the bearings by 130-140k miles anyway, if needed.
1. Clean your wheel hub and lugs with brake cleaner and brush.
2. Apply a tiny amount of anti-seize to the mating surface of the spacer.
3. Apply a dab of red loctite on the threads of the supplied lug nuts. Hand tighten all six of them. Conical end of nuts goes in first.
4. Torque nuts to 90ft/lbs utilizing a star-pattern. I added witness marks with a yellow paint pen. Torque wheels nuts to factory specs.
5. After 50 miles you want to re-check that the spacer nuts haven't loosened. Set wrench to 85ft/lbs so you wont break the loctite. If anything moves, you needs to re-torque that nut with fresh loctite.
6. After another 100 miles re-check the spacer nuts.
7. Re-check nuts every 5,000 miles or every tire rotation.

Great advice right there. Had them on my 4th gen forever. Loved them and had no issues.
