Torque the spacers to ?

Post by ace »

I just got some AIM spacers but wondering what I should torque them to? Is there any guideline?

I bought my 2" spacers from Performance Wheel... they recommend 70/80 ft. lbs. and a RETORQUE after 25 miles.

I did mine as tight as I can get `em, just like the wheel lug nuts.
I don't own a torque wrench. Never had a wheel fall off yet!! :pray:

As long as "as tight as I can get `em" isn't with an air impact wrench! :shock:
