    ...How much of your hub lug studs can you see once you tighten the spacer all the way down on the front? I had these on for a few hundred miles and i am questioning if this is ok or not.

    Torque to spec and re-torque after a couple hundred miles. Also check the torque every time you rotate the tires. I don’t get why people put loctite on spacers. You don’t use it with your wheels, so why would you use it with the spacers.

    Problem is if you use loctite once it set and you re-torque you break the bond. I know people will argue this, but I know it to be fact. Just be carful.

    That’s the problem with using it on lug nuts. I’ve been an automotive tech for 15 years, I’ll choose correct torque procedures over loctite any day. Just my opinion, not saying you can’t do it your way. :)
