Default Spidertrax questions??

Mine are on the way so I have a few questions for those who have installed Spidertrax spacers:

Does a standard deep well socket reach in to tighten the spacer lugs?

Is there any material between the spacer and the hub, or does it sit metal to metal?

To torque them, initially torque to 105 lbs then check later down the road at 100lbs?

Any reported problems/concerns with them on or off road yet?

1. Yes- Standard socket works fine
2. No- You must remove the factory clips which hold the rotors in place; metal to metal
3. I don't remember, but they come with instrucions and Loctite
4. No- They're great

Agree 100%. No issues to date. I rotate my tires every 1000 - 1500 miles and the spacers never need to be tightened.

I must agree, I have them and no issues.

Default Two thumbs up!

I am glad to be hearing the positive comments on the Spidertrax! Seems like they are worth the $200. I can't wait to get them on the Jeep this weekend (depending on how fast the UPS guy is). I think the 3" of extra track width will help with stability in general! Plus in the winter when I put my stock rims back on with the 32's it won't look as narrow!
