Be careful! Using wheel spacers you are asking for trouble. Broken studs and excessive wear on steering/suspension are just the beginning.

Have you experienced this?
My dad has been running H&R 15mm spacerssince03 and has had no problems.
I am sure if you where to get a junk set of spacers, then you would run into trouble.

Read around on the web. If you buy them right, and get high quality hubcentric spacers no more than 10-15mm you should be ok....However...

When you put wheel spacers on you're changing the center of gravity over the wheels, and putting more stress on hubs and bearings. Just something to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to do spacers.
