Lug nuts tend to loosen in service, and loose lug nuts eventually tend to let bad things happen.

With 10 lug nuts per corner instead of just 5 you've doubled the number of failure points, and half of them are not readily accessible for lug nut torque checking in paddock.

Noted. I did put blue loctite when I installed the spacers though. On the topic of checking lug nut torque in the paddock, I used to check before every run but someone at the track told me to check it only once before the first run when cold, to avoid over-tightening the wheel when it is hot. Thoughts on this?
