Ok, so tomorrow I will be checking my spacers for the first time since I put them on about a month or so ago. I used blue loctite so I hope I don't get any surprises. But let's say one or more bolts came loose, what do I do? Take them completely off and re tighten in a star pattern, or just tighten that bolt back up? And lastly would it be bad if I remove a loose one completely to put more loctite on it?

I'm scared to find a loose one cause that would mean there's risk of it happening again. Has anyone ever found loose bolts after checking them for the first time?

Interesting question. I installed my spacers a few hundred miles ago, and when I return home from china I'm going to be checking them. Didn't use loctite. Planning on just re-torquing, if any are loose then I'll check it again after another couple hundred miles. I'm trying to be safe, without being paranoid. Lol

What brand did you buy, and what sizes? (I have H&R 20 mm and 25 mm.)

Never had an issue with mine after several thousand miles. I throughly wire brushed cleaned the hub surface and if you torque them correctly and in the right sequence there never should be a problem. Similar to installing and torquing your wheels.
It's a no brainer to re-check them at every tire rotation anyway.

I never had an issue with any of the 3 sets of spacers I've used. Just torque them right (not too much, not too little) and check them again after 500 miles. Using loc-tite is a good step too and I don't see those things backing out on you.
