This.

If you drive your car like a grandpa then you will probably be okay.

I would never run at the track on spacers. Even forged rims have failed at the track. I'd also be extremely nervous about hitting the RC F speed limiter while running on spacers, and I've ran bikes at 200 mph.

I've read some horror stories...

First of all, let's call a duck a duck. Wheel spacers and adapters are two different things. Wheel adapters bolt up to the hub and come with its own set of bolts. Wheel spacers merely seat between the hub and wheel. With spacers, you might need to replace factory bolts to allow enough thread to secure properly. I ran 15mm adapters all around and never had an issue. The problem is that I'm one of the few owners that have a spare tire. The adapter did not allow me to mount my spare, so I wound up getting wheels.

Just wanted to give Deancf a big thanks for selling me All 4 wheel spacers. The ones I purchased him are a Blox Brand and top of the line spacers.
I also bought another set of wheel spacers but that person only sent me 2 instead of 4. I paid top dollar for 2 wheel spacers made in Taiwan. Why would I buy only 2 wheel spacers when I have 4 hubs? Needless to say now but I would not have only bought 2 wheel spacers so Im out almost $100..
Not naming names but you know who you are..
