I use spacers on my tires. Don't have the stock tire but I still have the stock rims with aftermarket tires and i haven't had an issue.

Anti seize is usually used on bolts or threads that can succumb to to corrosion or other elements which may make removal a problem. I do believe the other poster was recommending you coat the spacer on both sides to prevent it from sticking to your rim and the hub to make future removal easier. You should use locktight on the studs that you mount the spacer on. The studs on the spacer itself that mounts the rim should be dry, no locktight, no antiseize. At least down here anyway, some northerners who deal with winter road salt use antiseize on their lugnuts to make removal of their winter tires easier.

Incorrect..are you thinking about backing plate glue? Caliper grease? Those are two different animals anyway.

I don't know if I'm just retarded but I can't tell the difference. I have the mud terrain tires. Will I be able to tell the difference??
