Billet 6061 hub centric spacers with grade 10.5 studs are available for around $150 a set of 4. Billet 6061 is not as good as 7075 aluminum, but it’s stronger that 99% of the cast wheels on the road. Also, spacers are no worse for wheel bearings than similarly offset wheels are. Those are facts!

[@BIGREDTECH]

That’s the truth. Still putting the same amount of leverage on the hub with offset wheels!

[@banzaiib]

Yup. Wheel bearings don't care if it's a spacer or wheel offset moving the COG of the wheel/tire outward... The net effect is exactly the same.

I have cheap eBay aluminum 2” spacers and I’ve done a lot with them I even towed my 7,500lb camper with them and they are still going strong. I just put aftermarket wheels on my truck and my stock lug nuts barely fit in the whole of the rim so I’m hoping the rim doesn’t put any pressure on the lug nut and bend or snap it off while driving.

[@flyingjoed]

Wow! No substantial amount of lug bolt to attach your lug nuts to? That's a disaster waiting to happen. That comment was a year ago so I'm thinking a disaster has already happened! Hope you're still kickin out there!

The wright spacer..the wright way put on will not give problems. Next thing is how wide can you go without putting to much stress on things.. I run 1.5mm front and 20mm rear.m hubcentric. I find my car handling much better..cornering is more tight and less body roll even my suspension feels better..18 inch low tires..Qashqai J11..it was a bit stubby on bumbs etc..but now with the little more leverage of the angle..it feels much better. So spacers perfect..but just don't over do it ..and if you know your bearings are a bit old already..change them before you put spacers..
