[QUOTE="Mickey Luis, post: 1033639, member: 67962"] I used aluminum spacers on both vehicles. They are light weight, very solid and easy to handle. They all have held up just fine, but you must start the lug nuts by hand to avoid cross threading. I used the blue loctite which is removal without heat and very good medium strength. I only placed the loctite on the original brake wheel studs then torqued them on the wheel spacer. Of course the rim lug nuts must also be torqued to the proper amount for the rim. On some cheaper EBay spacers the center bore of the spacer was a hair undersized (bad machining) and was hard to separate them back off the center brake hub without a fight. I didn't have that problem with the ones from Motorsport Tech and they came off and on making for easy repairs or rim changing. [/QUOTE]
