I have never torque checked my spacer since I installed them almost 5 years ago. The reason for not torque checking them, as some have suggested, is to keep the integrity of the lok-tite.
From what I have read you just have to retorque them to like 5 pounds less just so it doesn't break the lok-tite if they are loose they already broke it, I just got wheel spacers I plan on checking them every 3k when I do my oil change and tires rotation

You don't actually re-torque them, you just check the torque. Mine have never budged.
