Installed 4 Akata 20mm Spacers today ..... and OMG the look is so much better. Super easy to put them on, well worth the time in my opinion (Dont come @ me with all your grade 12 geometry and physics

)

I'm in Canada, and these were simpler to get than the Paragon ones (which have shipping/duty/exchange/etc ...) They are top quality, did lots of research. Hubcentric and fit was exceptional. I purchased them HERE ... Service and shipping was excellent !

That's a very clean floor, and I like your banner.
I hope for your sake that's not a screw in your back tire.
As for the spacers, sure - they make your car look even faster.

Thanks ;)

Just a pebble .. these damn summer tires pick up gravel like they are made of duct tape.
 
This is hilarious, I thought im in the American forums for a moment seeing "rain" as an excuse to not be able to take more photos outside. Then realized the thread is a Necropost, an old thread revived from the dead.

Good job for both resurrecting this and the stance with the spacers ! XD

Can't wait for the spring to come !! We all had enough of winter, dreaming of rainy days lol

Actually here in southern AB we had 18 degrees (about 64 Fahrenheit) here in February! Very unusual and had the corvette out for the first time ever in the month of Feb.
 
Giving this some thought as I await delivery of my spacers....When you put new wheels on or even rotate, it seems most shops now ask you to come back to retorque the lugs after 100km, probably as part of a CYA for the shop I suppose but maybe also a higher incidence of the lugs not initially being perfectly set and could loosen with vibration.

Is there any concern or any common practice with needing to retorque the lugs on the spacers (the ones that will hold the spacers to the hub)? Alternatively should I be using Blue Loctight - or would that create a different concern?
