Topic: Are Wheel Spacers Safe for Highway Use?

I used anti-seize on mine too.  Thats what we used when I did tires for a living...keeps the studs from gettin gummed up.

i didnt check the nuts holding my 1.5" spacers on for a long time, and all the nuts had come a little loose the rotor was able to move back and forth a bit. i check them all the time now!  soon i will be adding IFS hubs on my axle with the wheel spacers also to widen my track ANOTHER 3 inches

How was your rotor mounted? It should have been mounted to the backside of the hub, with the studs pressed through it. Loose nuts or not, the rotor shouldn't have been able to move around like that. Check to make sure your studs havent wallowed out the holes in the wheel hub.

the nuts were loose for a long while and the wheel studs worked themselves loose. they WERE pressed in when i put it together. but from being loose and being under stress from braking, they worked loose. everythings fine now, i just check my nuts every once in a while

I check my nuts all the time, sometimes several times a day
