I have a set of 25mm coyote brand spacers at all 4 corners with my OEM PP wheels. I used the supplied small acorn nuts to secure the spacer to the hub, and the OEM lugs to hold the wheel to the spacer, all torqued to 130 ft/lbs.
I have not had any problems with this, but I'm wanting to swap to a set of 20mm for the rear and leave the front as-is (I am aware I will have to trim the OE studs slightly for this). In my research I have found conflicting info on what lugnuts should be used, what brand spacers are good and which are junk, and how much they should be torqued. One of my biggest fears with these spacers is twisting a stud out of the spacer, leaving the wheel stuck on the car and being unable to remove anything. I want to take all precautions I can to avoid that, so thought I'd try to get a feel of what I should be doing.
-Are the coyote spacers seen as an ok brand? I've not had any problems but I don’t know if any particular spacers are more prone to problems than others.
-What lugnuts should be used to secure the spacer to the hub, and what should they be torqued at? Does the OE 150 spec apply here since it is the factory studs being used?
-What should the wheels be torqued at? ? Does the OE 150 spec apply here since it is the factory lugnuts being used?
Thanks
