Default Wheel spacers

I've heard good and bad about wheel spacers. Are they a good investment/idea? Or an accident waiting to happen?

I had some on my truck making 800+

I suggest using the billet ones that have their own studs. I think a lot of the problems come from guys using the smaller ones and the lug nuts not being able to fully engage the studs.

I've ran them on several trucks, the stud style, ranging from 1-2 inches in thickness. I was using the cheap ebay aluminum ones too.

Never had a problem.
