Angry Snaped wheel spacer stud (ALL-Pro)

I got a pair of All Pro 1.5 wheel spacers. Gives the vehicle a nice stance but the wheel studs on the adaptor are questionable....

Installation of the spacers to the hub went perfect torqued the inner nuts to the suggested 90 ft/lbs. Then I installed my wheels (steel rims) torqued them to 85 ft/lbs using a quality accurate SnapOn torque wrench. (I might add I come from a family of journeyman mechanics and I def know what Im talking about). The installation and torque sequence was correct. I felt a little bit of stretch in some of the studs while torqueing them down which concerned me a little. Several weeks latter I got a set of new tires. I re-checked the adaptors while the wheels where off, and all the torque values were fine. Upon re-installation of the wheels, I felt a little bit of stretch in the studs again. But to my surprise ONE OF THE Studs ACTUALY SNAPPED OFF!!!!!!

I contacted ALL Pro to see if I could get some replacement studs and they said they will just send me a whole new spacer free of change. I asked what grade the studs are that they use and they couldn't answer the question because the spacers are NOT made by them. I asked the All pro rep if anyone else has had this problem and she said yes....

I just wanted to share this and see if anyone else has encountered this problem. Maybe I can find some higher quality studs that can take the place of the current ones idk.....

Thanks guys

Must be installer error. Everybody knows that wheel spacers sold by a reputable company are perfectly safe.

I've snapped an All-Poo spacer bolt.

Spidertrax were the replacement.

That is pretty concerning.

They didn't provide a torque spec for the studs. Just the inner stock studs, which the adaptor bolts to (90ft/lbs).

I should have gone with Spidertrax i guess. If my wheel sheers off on the freeway at the Adaptor studs im gonna be super pissed haha

Never buying All PRO AGAIN

Indeed. After personally knowing one of the tool bags they employed, I'll never buy a thing from them.

A tough lesson, but a lesson learned. There's a reason that Spidertrax has the rep they have. I guarantee that if you call them they'll tell you the grade of their studs, any torque spec you need, and even the construction process of their adpaters.

Another company that you can think about is Bora. I have handled their 1" Adapters and they seem to be very well made. No shakes on the freeway, provided torque specs, etc =p They also make MANY different sizes, not just 1.25" and 1.5".
