Hi,
Finaly got round to fitting the spacers to-day, I torqued them to 70ft/per lb as per intructions, but found I had to undo them (tweek) them to final position, one of the lug extenders is only nipped up to get it to align, other wise I have to over tighten it past 90ft/lb, will this be ok.
Spacers are Grayston 32mm

It's not going to loosen - because the casting spacer ring won't let it.
but don't take my word for it, let's see what others have to say about
Don't know what torque is on mine, but is probably HIGH as mine were tapped on with the hammer :pinch:

personally, I'd have thought it'd be OK as long as it is actually nipped.one of the lug extenders is only nipped up

Should be. As a precaution you could orientate the spacer over that nut so that it has one of the hexaganol holes over it rather than the larger slotted hole. That way it is held in place firmly by the spacer on all six sides of the extender nut.
I hope that makes sense.
I took my spacers off at Briercliffe this weekend as my wheels were making contact with the front bumper. I may sell them yet or trim the bumper. A bit undecided. Hmmmm :dry:
