1" spacers

[redline727]

This forum needs an autosizer..........what the ?!?!?!?!?

Darren please go drive the car hard and report back with any noises or vibrations at low or high speeds. I would like to get 1" spacers but have read people getting vibrations with them. This is what I'm worried about. I would like to lower the car and get spacers till I can afford some nice wheels but I don't want to have any vibrations. I was always under the impression that bolt on spacers were a big no no and the best way to do it was to get longer studs.

These being hubcentric should do away with the shakes/vibrations. I've read reports of people doing 130mph with these without issues. I'll get on the highway with mine and see what happens. I definitely like the look a lot more now.

I did 120 on the freeway and no vibrations

Got my spacers today. Should i be using the factory 150 ft lb torque spec or the 85-95 on the spacer directions?? Also are you all using 13/16" or 21mm sockets??

Curious on the torque as well... I did the spacer nuts to 85, but I'm likely going to take them off tonight in order to blue loctite them for extra peace of mind.

And I used a metric socket.

I did 90 on the spacer nuts and 100 on the lug nuts. I'm still waiting on an answer on whether people think it'll be OK.

I just used blue locktite, a 3/4" socket and a 2 foot long break over bar and put the nuts stupid tight. Any tighter and I'm certain I would have snapped the stud so I'm good. Lol.

I took them apart yesterday to put loctite on and ended up tightening to:

110 ft-lbs + blue loctite on the spacer lugs
150 ft-lbs on the wheel lugs

I did 100 on the spacers and 150 on the wheels

Just Ordered two sets. How long is the wait?

There website says 6-7 weeks and that's probably the minimum wait time..

These are back ordered everywhere unfortunately :tsk:

Got my order In as well, might as well place It early rather than wait for It to come back Into stock only to be too late and have to wait again. xD

I know It'll stick out about 3/8ths of an Inch, can anyone who's driven In the rain recently, or lives where It rains constantly with these spacers comment on how traction was?

It rains once in a blue moon here so I'm not worried, just wondering.
