Just had a question... Are wheel spacers safe? I was just wondering because I'm about to have them installed in my car later today and I just wanted your guys' opinion on them? Any positives or negatives with getting them.

Spacers are safe as long as you do your hw as to what you need to get other then just the spacers themselves.

Spacers are safe as long as you're running extended wheels studs. For 10mm spacers, you will definitely want to run longer studs. It is always recommended that you run the appropriate wheel fitment so that spacers are not required but some road racing and drifting teams prefer to use spacers for enhancement on vehicle stance to run wider rubber for increased contact patch. For a street car, proper fitment will always be recommended.
