Advice/information before mounting Spidertrax spacers on all 4 wheels

[nissanh]

Planning to install 4 spidertrax wheel spacers in all 4 wheels.
Things to do and not to do?

Torques for spacer to the hub and wheel to the spacer?

Amount of blue loctite per stud? and it goes on both the stud and nut or just one?

After care?

Thanks

I would wire brush the hub and the wheel and make the the mounting surfaces are absolutely clean.

Thanks Singtoe!

How about the torque?

Blue loctite is weaker so use a generous amount.

Just check your torque a few times in the week after installation.

I'm curious about the percentage of users that have ET Lug nuts on the front.
I am leaning toward using them, but I keep putting if off.

I don't use Extended Threaded lug nuts. FWIW.

If you use lock tite, don't retorque. It will break the adhesion and essentially not be locktited anymore.

I just see if the wrench clicks where it's supposed to. The nut doesn't move.
