i actually like the chrome 5 spokes that come on my 99, thought about getting some spacers to lose the sunking battleship look. thanks for the spacer info ^^

Well if you actually drive your car year round, you have to take off your 'nice' wheels in the winter. Spacers are dangerous, and yes the sunken look sucks, but for 3-4 months out of the year i just deal with it

Same question as Shaka, im lowered on Ksports with stock wheels as low as it will go without rubbing but i plan on getting a new set of rims in the next few months.

With spacers on it would put more stress on your hub bearings, not to mention that they can snap off seen it on my buddy's car taking a turn at 25mph lost the wheel with the most of the lugs just snapped off grinding on the rotor into the ditch.
That's as dangerous as it could get, at the higher speeds good luck!
Don't do it!

Spacers that are hub centric are just fine. I have never seen anyone that I know with spacers have issues. Reasons people could have problems: they are cheap ebay spacers, not hub centric to the car, not properly torqued ect. I know of so many track cars with spacers that are just fine. I watched my friends wheel come off his car too and it had nothing to do with spacers. It was a stock wheel with not spacer, he didn't torque the lug nuts down.

My neighbor runs ebay spacers that are supposedly made of the same stuff as all the higher up ones and thank god, hasnt had any problems.
He claims as long as its hubcentric and torqued properly, they'll be fine.
Im just looking for wheels that wont need them lol.
