    THose will be fine. There isn't much science to a wheel spacer. I have a set like that on my truck.

    running spacers is fine, just make sure you use loctite and check them regularly. hubcentric spacers make them less prone to vibration. I have non hubcentric spacers for the past 3 years in the rear, no problems.

    THe main reason one would break is it wasn't installed correctly. Meaning they over torqued it and they didn't tighten it down in a star pattern just like you do when changing a tire. Also it isn't the spacer that cracks its the studs on the spacer.

    Also for it not be hub centric as long as you know how to change a tire properly it isn't an issue.

    Eric you will be fine with these.
