If I put spacers on, any maintenance ?
 
Hey I was wondering if I put spacers on my rear, do I have to get them checked every once in a while, do any maintenance or whatsoever? Or will I be done once they are on?

Whenever you replace a wheel and torque the wheel bolts, you should check them again after 100 kim (or 50 miles). That applies to wheel bolts with spacers or without.

Apart from that, no maintenance to the spacers.

I put some antiseize between the spacer and the hub.

Just check them once, after 50 miles? If everything is fine, I'm good to go for a while?

Anti-seize makes it easier to remove when you have to. It is a paste.

SlickGT1, thanks for your advice. Also one more question. You said to check the wheel bolts after 50 miles with or without spacers. So if everything is ok after 50 miles, I'm good to go?

After you torque them up again after 50 miles, you are good to go. You are just making sure metal deformation, or something else is not making your bolts or lugs come loose.
