They will potentially cause the wheel bearings to fail quicker.

Get the billet ones.... I used the hollow Grayson ones and had wheel wobble... They just don't seem stronge enough for any sort of offroading... Just my opinion.

Hi, according to my understanding, wheel spacers they not solve nothing and bring many problems :unsure:

Including modification of the scrub radius, which is highly dangerous



Success

spacers widen the track and help offset the higher centre of gravity from a lift kit
the billet ones are better but much more expensive
