I installed 20mm DRM spacers all around today. After driving about thirty miles I checked the wheel lug torque and found that several of the nuts required as much as a full turn to bring them back to 85 pounds. I will pull the wheels tomorrow and check the torque on the spacer nuts. Has anyone else had this experience? How many re-torques are needed before full compression is achieved? This seemed excessive to me.
