Ichiba spacers help!
Hi everyone I recently installed a ichiba v1 10mm spacers in the front of my 09 is350 I installed the 50mm extended studs that comes with it but I can only get 5 hand tighten full rotation before torque it down.. Is that safe to drive around? I'm kinda worry the wheel going to come off while driving. What's the min rotation consider safe? Thank you!!

Is there any way that you can torque it down? Usually with original studs you torque the wheels on them around 80lbs. Hand tightening them is not safe espcecially since you are using spacers which adds more load to those extended studs, not to mention the original studs taking more load too due to the spacing.
Trust me, I have seen it before on an a4 its a scary sight to see a car go one way and your wheel going another way.

To OP, yes 5 full turns are good. I believe 4 is the minimum. Just make sure you're torqued down properly and re-torque ever so often.
