Default wheel spacers- set up time for loctite
I installed Spidertrax wheel spacers this afternoon. The temp in my garage is at 58 degrees. How long should I wait before driving to allow for the loctite to set up?

As long as you torqued it down to specs you're good to go.

Don't forget to retorque after 100 miles and after every tire rotation

If you re-torque and they move you need to take bolt out, clean, re-apply locktite and torque to spec.

Its normal to have to retorx new alum rims from new also. I bought used spacers and checked after about 1000 miles and still good!

I re-torque every 5000 km just to be sure. Take them off clean re apply lock tight and torque. But I'm a little OCD that way.
