The only thing, when changing the original offset, it alters the steering geometry.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing with mine, wants to get a little squirrely in the soft stuff. May have acted the same way without spacers though, I didn't do much riding without. Supposed to make you have to crank harder on the wheel in the tight stuff, but didn't notice much difference with the 1"ers.

So with your spacers and after market rims, how much spacing does that come out too vs stock? Maybe 3 inches?

Cool thing about that Loctite is, if you ever want to remove the bolts, just heat them up a little (a small pencil torch) and the Loctite will let go.

I've used other LOC tite
with mixed results. ..
680...Loctite

little spendy...but
it never fails

I used red 271 heavy duty Loctite when I installed 1 1/2" spacers. No problems yet. I also put some on my lightbar bolts. It rattled loose the first ride, no trouble since adding loctite.

Between the spacers and my aftermarket wheels I love the width and stability of my P5 now.
