Wheel adapter question

[Razorback]

I tried looking this up, didnt find anything , I bought marks wheel adapters, the lug nuts i use to put the adapters on the rotors , should i use anything on them like something like locktight or something.

Pink Loctite #222 would be fine.
Some guys have used Gray color anti-seeze for rusted lug studs.
BTW, just to clarify.. you have spacers..not adapters..

I used some anti-seize. Remember you will likely have to remove them again one day to replace axles, seals, brake work etc.

I have never used anything. I do not use anything on any other lugnuts, so no reason to use them on thes in my opinion.

I've been using anti-sieze for 7 years. The huge thing to remember is you have to CHECK (which requires retorquing) the inner lug nuts at (typically) 500 miles, and then once a year or whenever you rotate your tires. Studs can stretch, especially if they've been overtorqued anytime in the past by an idiot at some random tire store or brake joint.

Loctite can interfere and annoy you when you retorque them.

Thank you all for the information.
