Have wondered this question for awhile .
Most good or generic spacer manufacturers or sellers offer a torque rating for wheel spacer lugs and then there’s the 130- 140ftlbs spec for the c1500 that most use on the rotor lugs .
Should spacers regardless be torqued to the same 130-140ftlb as the wheel lugs or should you go by what the manufacturer / sellers rate ? The Set I have currently stated 80ftlb but it’s an eBay special deal on the spacers.. so wasn’t taking that spec but with a grain of salt .
I believe I seen someone here mentioned to torque ( spacers) the same as the oem cast wheels lug spec
It would seem as if the only difference would be the quality or durability in the studs themselves. I assume a vehicle replacement rotor stud ‘ might be more reliable and less likely to be compromised with 140ftlbs than a aftermarket spacer / stud
