I use Wheel spacers on mine and give it some really abuse. Only issue i had on my old 410 was when it got overtighten by some monkey at ATS apart from that they are great.

For what it cost why not use it, once you've got some you'll find a thousand uses for it, the items concerned might never come undone but then again they might.

Why should they come loose??

Wheel nuts dont come loose...

I have had mine on my SJ now for about five years.. never had a problem..

All id say is go for decent quality ones.. like the TUV approved ones from Scorpion racing or the kind that Bits4Vits sells.

Im not a fan of the extended studs and spacer..

You can check wheel nuts without removing the wheels.

As I said for what it costs - why not.


Top flight motorsport check everything on a very regular basis yet they will thread lock most things and wire safety critical items like steering and brakes, for the sake of a few quid why wouldn't you.
