The last time I saw a shop that used a torque wrench was in the early 2000s 

I think is the some for Authorised Works also long time never use torque wrench,

personally and relative had encountered  difficult to loosen the NUts manually(flat tire), and tire shop said they also felt many over tightened by Super Power tool .

over tightened is bad for thread and you only knows when your next job needs to loosen.

just MHO

Ya, if you go track day with over tighten lugs. It may cause the bolts to be sheared off. 

Personally for my car, it comes with staggered AMG rims stock. So its naturally flushed.

I think it is very important to use good quality wheels pacers and bolts.

wheel spacers, good or bad. I think different people have different ideas. But if you buy the lower quality spacers, that must be bad. Because low price means low cost, which makes us more likely to face danger.

Recently I was considering installing wheel spacers on my car, I saw the BONOSS Forged active cooling wheel spacers on the Internet, and some netizens shared and installed these component. So I install that last week. 

The spacers push the wheels out slightly, giving it  a more flush look with the fenders. I am glad that I can buy such good spacers, and I hope that what I have shared will help you.

You could consider these spacers, if you are interested, please visit the link here.

Remember to take out Spacer before Inspection.

I cleared my inspection with 15mm spacers front and rear (put by previous owner) at Vicom Kaki Bukit no issue, but i guess is heng sway. Cleared my LED license plate, reverse and pole lights without a hitch too. Exhaust strict though, will check thoroughly, under the hood also will inspect for abit
