Shoiuld I use locktite on my Ichiba V2 spacers?

A bit leery just torquing them down without being able to access the hidden lug nuts.
Should I use locktite and if so which color? Thanks for help w/ this as I've never run spacers and have heard some horror stories

Just torque the spacers down. If they are new, retorque them after a hundred miles or so like any new alloy wheels.

no locktite.

I have the same V2's and was a little worried at first. Driven about 8,000 miles no issues, and have not even retightened since first installation.
