wheel spacer torques ?

[adam172]

Maybe a very silly question but what sort of torque should they be done too??

TAFBT? Now that doesn't even make sense!

b*****d tight. Honestly though i'd just do them up tight. Ive torqued my wheels up before and within a month they aren't as tight as they should be.

Also, on the way back from our euro road trip, grays front wheel started wobbling (even though he torqued up). Pulled over on hard shoulder and most of the bolts had come loose.

I just do my wheel bolts sensibly tight (obviously without bouncing up and down on the wrench)

i did mine to the same torque as the wheels! 90ish

I'm with Boosh, just go tight with a breaker bar, not horrendously tight, just tight.

With a wheel spacer that bolts onto the hub, its advised that you do it to the correct torque settings. Do it too tight and there potential of snapping them if driven hard.

Yes mine bolt to hub then wheels bolt to them they are eibach hubcentric 30mm spacers with steel inserts? But it doesn't tell me a torque setting. I would like to torque them correctly so I don't need to check them all the time worrying. All it says is torque them then drive for however many mile then re torque them. I just don't know what to torque them too??? Lol

Phone Eibach. Probably you will be ok doing them to Renault recommendations.

you are more likely to cross thread the hub than have them snap. Not good either way though...

I'd just go tight Ad, much like you'd do a set of wheels. (I'm assuming you don't do those with a wrench?)

 

[Tony Hunter]

Our's are done the same as the wheel nuts.

 

[rich-6]

110nm

 

[adam172]

done them i did them at 120nm in the end ?

 

[Rob]

Looks so much better mate, can't wait to do it to mine, even with the f1's it should be loads better!

 

[adam172]

iv got 30mm on the front, i put 25mm on the rear and it looked soooooooo nice. drove it up the road and was rubbing like a dry pussy so had to take them off , once i have put the shims on the rear it will be ok though. i cant wait to put the lensos on now!!

 

[Rob]

25mm rears? what are you doing with them?

 

[adam172]

putting them back on once i have sorted the camber
