BTW, Spidertrax recommends red loctite. Also, if you want to save a few bucks check out their website or call them. Ask for blems, they are still safe to use and offer full warranty. They just might have some of the coating scratched off. Still brand new. QC. I myself purchased some used ones from a forum member and have been very happy. Just remember to check periodically and re-torgue to specs.

If you use spacers, get a quality brand like Spidertrax. This is important: remove and discard the retaining washers on the rotors. They are not needed, they were used in the factory to hold things in place. Remove them for spacers or new rims. Use LocTite and a torque wrench. Recheck the lugs using the torque wrench minus a few pounds so you don't break the 'glue.'
I ran Spidertrax for 3 years and 100,000 miles.

I called them because I needed loctite due to purchasing used spacers. They recommended using the red and I believe the red is for larger hardware as well and is not permanent.
