    Ran them until 35s.. no issue even drunk installed! Put them on the 35s and we’ll that’s when shit went bad! But it was tire rub not weight or proper torque!

    A proper install goes a long way. I would venture to guess that 95% of all spacer failures were a result of improper torque on both the factory and the spacer studs.

    I place @Superdave1.0 in that other 5% based on name and hi-jinx associated with! I have no other merit-able facts!

    I agree quality spacers are fine, but I’d say 95% of failures are from shit quality spacers, not bad install. Very very few companies I’d personally trust with spacers. Most are simply junk, either due to cheap studs or bad ally. It’s exceptionally difficult to get quality spacers, and steel is the way to go, not ally.

    i agree. Spidertrax or Bora are the only two worth buying.

    I donno about that... seems like 3 or 4 times a year I see a vehicle with a wheel came off in transit becuase someone failed to torque, or over torqued and snapped studs. And that’s without spacers. I personally think extra parts are not ideal

    I'm noticing a trend in your post history. When are you gonna start a thread for 4" spacers?
