Sorry if there's a thread already but my search doesn't work!!! So if i get wheel spacers i read i have to re tightened them every 100 miles is that true? And why do i need wheel spacers when i go to 35's and stock 17" wheels? Thanks

You will need them cause the tired are wider and will rub so u can get spacers or new rims with different backspacing to allow for wider tires

 

How much back spacing would i need?

 

can you imagine having to pull over ever 100 miles on tightening wheel spacers. That is not true.

Torque should be checked on them just like anything else.

Retorque them after the first 100 miles then every time you rotate your tires. You don't otherwise have to go out of your way to take your wheels off just to retorque them.

 

Oh okay thanks guys

 

With wheel spacers you do need to check the torque around 100 miles to verify correct installation, then only at every tire rotation (3k-5k miles). They are needed for proper clearance so your tires do not rub while turning. The stock wheels have very deep backspacing (6.25") which tucks them close to the frame.

 

4.5 or a smaller number is usually recommended when buying different rims

 

How much do the stock wheels have?

 

6 at least, may be 6.5
