Wheel Bolt Torque Using Wheel Spacers, What Torque Spec Is Everyone Using?

GarageMonsterM · 12-22-2022, 12:42 PM

Hey guys curious if you are torquing your wheels to OEM when using spacers 12mm-15mm. I would think maybe this might require a bit more torque with the spacer and longer bolts but not sure on this and wanted to hear what everyone is doing.

on my previous car I did a titanium stud conversion kit with spacers and I was constantly getting noises from the spacers even when I would torque the nuts an extra 5%.

any info to share is much appreciated.

Running the standard 103 ft lbs, and have done so without issue on many different spacer sets. This is also the torque that EAS recommends for all their MS spacers.

I just put spacers on today and did 110ftlb just rounded up a little. OE spec is fine.

Also a good rule of thumb to recheck torque after 100mi after installing new spacers (regardless of brand).
