[QUOTE="Halo Raptor, post: 1447412, member: 31664"] There is another thing to consider and make sure you are talking about the same thing. There are wheel spacers, and wheel adapters. Wheels spacers suck, dont use them, they put extra stress on your lugs. They are merely nothing more than a metal disc that slides over your lugs and pushes the wheel out from the hub X distance. Then there are wheel adapters. Wheel adapters have lugs built into them and are usually hub-centric. They bolt to your lugs, then have lugs that your wheel bolts to. Being that they are hub-centric, they hug the wheel hub nice and tight. People have been using brands like Bora for racing for years with no ill effect. The principle is what is the difference of pushing the wheel away from the truck with offset, or creating the offset with a wheel adapter. Its all the same stress on the components. Shit I raced Vegas to Reno with rear wheel adapters and not one problem for a 600 mile 12 hour race. So just make sure you are informed about which your talking about doing, spacer or adapter.
