Just make sure to coat both faces of the spacer with anti-seize.
The whole face? I always put the anti-seize on the centering snout area only, worried the wheel/hub interface needs a metal-to-metal interface for grip. Makes wheel changes much easier.

....speaking of Winter Tires...
Should I put the pair with the most tread on the front or rear? It's an X if that makes any difference.


Edit: I just read here (second last paragraph) that the most tread should go on the rear. Makes sense.

Yeah, the snout is the key area, but I put a little on the face too.
It helps to keep the corrosion in check.
I've never had any issue with faces not mating up.

Definitely a good idea for anti-sieze on the centering hub. When I installed my new wheels on my new to me 08 GMC I had a heck of a time getting the original alloy wheels off because this was not done previously. I good wire brushing and a coat of anti-sieze is a must.

We had a decent amount of snow fall last night & this morning the roads were blowing in a bit.
They were well covered but not terrible.

I was in a long train of cars following an IDtenT creeping along at 30-40 klicks.
I turned left to an alternate route to avoid this nonsense.
Pulled up past the IDtenT; yep... no snows, probably some sort of no-seasons.

I saw a G37 Coupe with Infiniti's Aero Bodykit. Of course I had to pull over and check it out. It's look pretty ugly but still on summers!!

Speaking of Winter tire time, the roads are all closed around my place this morning. I just looked out the door and the barricadesand flashing lights are out on the road.
Darn, my Grandaughters school Christmas Concertwas this afternoon, now all the schools are closed.

Guess I am stuck in the house today, so I have some goodies I want to order online, looks like a good day for it

speaking of goodies, did they ever come out with springs for your FX?

I'm looking at some goodies too but I'm trying to hold off until Feb/Mar.

No, Eibach was supposed to have them but they turned out the same as H&R, they are dragging their a$$es. I decided to go with H&R since they have a bit more drop. They assured me that they would be ready in the new year, although I wouldn't install them until Spring anyways.
I do have the GTSPEC front strut brace ordered through a B2Autodesigns group buy though.

ouch, I would rather have snow instead of the rain/freezing rain mix in the winter. Rain on top of snow makes for such sloppy, miserable driving conditions.
