Pardon my n00bness and lack of terminology but here goes:

I recently bought a pair of 25mm Powered by Max bolt-on spacers so I can space out my front wheels, Work Emotion CR Kai's 17x9 +38. After installing both wheels and spacers however, I am noticing a strange type of "humming" sound, as if something is rubbing against each other presumably the rotor against the spacer?

One thing I did notice when I took my wheel off is that the nuts that hold the spacer on were coming loose so I'm guessing that's what's causing the humming sound maybe?

This leads me to the purpose of this post...

How do I properly torque the spacers? For obvious reasons when the front is in the air and I'm trying to torque it down the hub/rotor spins freely..
