Those spacers coming with Loctite is the company trying to cover their asses......

You don't need Loctite with the Spidertrax spacers. They bolt on just like your factory lug nuts bolt on. If you wouldn't use them on your factory lugs, then don't use them on the wheel spacers. There are older types of wheels spacers that don't bolt on where you HAVE to use Loctite. In this case, I think it's not necessary.

Granted, you can use it, it just may be harder to get them off if you ever need to.

This is just my opinion. I have never used loktite an a lug that holds on a wheel, but the lugs that hold on the spacer I would because if you have one or more come loose, you would not see it and that my friend would be what the company is trying to prevent from happening. I love the blue loktite I buy the big bottles and use it to the last drop. That’s like a 100,000 bolts and nuts. I work on cars and bikes more then most.
