FK type b- wheels spacers torque?

[mk4jetta]

I got some 20mm bolt on spacers, can't find any torque specs anywhere? Any suggestions, lugnuts just thread into aluminum, kinda nervous to go tighter then wrist tight with my ratchet lol.

Ummm just throwing this out there but they should be exactly the same torque as your wheels. It provides the shear friction and keeps the faces mated evenly in corners. I have a set of 20mm fk bolt on spacers and i always just torque them down.

I kind of thought so, just wanted to make sure before I stripped the threads out of it.

They are going to shear that's way too much torque.

Wheel torque specs are in fact 89lb/ft or 120 n/m. If you torqued them to 90lb/ft, I think you should be fine. I really cant see 1lb/ft making a huge difference. I'm pretty sure colin is just pullin your leg. I could be wrong though, I never dealt with these spacers

Lol I wasn't worried about the extra 1ft/lb, thought he was being serious.
