Installing spacers on my car tomorrow. Looked for the general consensus regarding anti seize but couldn't find one. I will probably apply it on the face of the spacer. Do I need to apply any on the studs that the spacer bolts to? What about the lug from the spacer? If so how much, and where? Looking for any advice.

Thanks
Rox

I just bolted mine up straight from the box, and re-torqued @ 500 miles. I removed them about a year later when I got my new wheels, there was a little surface rust between the mating surfaces (just the rust that transferred from the hub to the aluminum spacer) so probably wouldn't hurt to put some on the surface that mates to the hub. Threads should be fine left alone.

I'm also installation H&R 15mm DRM spacers sometime in the next week. I too had the same question about anti-seize.

Do I need to apply any loctite glue (or anything else) on the lugs that hold the spacers to the hub? I'm not referring to lug nuts that hold on to the studs of the spacers.

Thank you. See I heard the studs get extremely hot from the braking. Therefore applying anti seize here would make sense. But of course not on the lugs though. Just want a definite answer.

Don't see how it would hurt.

And AMai1215, do not use any locking agent on the spacers, just torque to 85 ft. lbs and re-check torque @ 500 miles.

A light coat on the contact face, and inside the hub bore only.

Use NOTHING on the studs and nuts.
As blnewt stated torque, and recheck.
