Wheel lugs and spacers re-torquing?
I have recently installed new wheels with H&R wheel spacers. My installer told me that I would need to re-torque the spacers and the wheel, after 50 miles and then again after 100 miles of driving. After this, because of spacers, vehicle 'may' require frequent checks of wheel torque.
I know that H&R recommends re-torquing after 50-60 miles of initial use (this is mentioned as part of the instructions in the box). But I guess my question is whether I really need to re-torque tham again after 100 miles and then regularly check the wheel torque as suggested by my installer? I spoke to the wheel manuafcturer and they suggested me to use a impact wrench to tighten the spacer so that it doesn't require re-torquing and use a torque wrench to bolt the wheel and re-torque them only once after initial 50 miles.
I know lot of people have spacers installed on their X. What do you guys say? How often do you guys have to re-torque them?
