Default Need Help: Installation of Wheel Spacers

I just bought some 1.25" wheel spacers for the rear of my car. They came with no directions. What do I torque these things to and do I need to put any sort of loc-tite or anything like that on the bolts that came with it?

i would torque them to what you would torque wheels. i don't think loctite will hurt but that's just an opinion. i wasn't planning on putting any on mine since i may be pulling them on and off of the car. let us know how these work out and any problems.

I just torque ours on normally, no locktite or anything. Maybe this is wrong, but i havent had any problems with it. Its just like bolting on a wheel.

Thumbs up

I have H&R 1" spacers and the directions that came with mine said to torque to factory specifications. FYI
