Question Akata Spacer guys - torque question
To those that have Akata Spacers, what are you torquing the spacers down to on the hub? And also the lug nuts down to when installing the wheel? My local shop installed them when I had new tires put on and I'm getting vibration at speeds over ~70mph.

Thanks!

Note: These are the 20mm spacers on factory 18's. Car is a 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD.

Should be torqued down to factory spec or tighter. Both spacers and wheel lugs. Mine are actually torqued down to 94lbs.

No vibration at higher speeds?

take off spacers and see if it still vibrates...if vibration is gone, spacers are suspect

I was wondering if you were lowered.. looking to get spacers and wasn't sure what size to get.. do you have a pic with the spacers on..

are they hub centric?
are you tightening the lugs with the weight off the car?

tight tight tight tolerances to ensure no vibration here.
