Spidertax spacers - 90ft or 108ft lbs torque for 97? (1 Viewer)

[2000cruiser]

I’m seeing a lot of conflicting information out there for spacers torque spec. Some go with 90ft lbs which is what spidertrax recommends. Some go with the FSM steel wheels spec at 108ft lbs. Which do you recommend?

I currently have my 94 at 90ft lbs at the spacers but not sure if it’s any different with the 97s since they are hub centric.

TIA

I did 90ft/lbs and drove around on them for 6-7 years without any problems. I have since removed them, they are a quality piece for what they are, but function is trumping looks in my old age. Lol

I've been running spidertrax spacers for about 7 years on my 80. I've always torqued them to 85ft/lb (just like the factory aluminum wheels). But I also use thread locker on the spacer nuts. I've never had an issue. I would think 90ft/lb as one of the recommended settings would be appropriate.

Sounds like 90 it is!
