The Peep's got 60000km on 1.25in Spidertrack spacers, 100 ft. lb on inner and outer nuts, 15" stock Jeep rims with 31x10.5, no problems with the spacers (always go with the anti seize). Set of 4 $145, with tax and delivered from Quadratech.

Had a Caddy Escalade in the shop today, two broken wheel studs to be replaced, owner said broke with 100ft/lb using a new torque wrench. Sometimes even what are supposed to be good fasterners, fail.
