Here's another question - what should the lugs be torqued at. I always use an impact gun but I don't hammer them down super hard and tight. Makes me think I should stop that habit.

Edit: Well this is the result of...."Hey Alfredo, Since you have nothing to do and I have to work today. Why don't you pull my Jeep around back and rotate my tires."
During the test drive at 50 mph 1 mile from work this was the result. I'll check on monday but I'm pretty sure he used the impact gun and cranked the sh!t out of them.
Good thing I hadn't made it to the freeway. YET!
I would really like to know how that happened was the person who rotated you tires retarted, i hope they plan to pay for them to be repaired. That sux

Unfortunately, this is not uncommon when running wheel spacers. There is a reason every form of motorsports there is have banned their usage.
Hope everybody was ok.

On what models? SCCA will not allow any car to compete with wheel spacers. And, if by chance porsche does use them, I doubt they are using 100lb tire/wheel combos.
