Wheel Spacers
Anyone add wheel spacers? I was thinking of adding 10mm hub centric wheel spacers. Spoke to a guy at a wheel shop and he practically talked me out of them saying that they introduce a shaking to the wheels and make for a rough ride and then there's always the chance of sheering off.
Anyone have any experience with these? Thoughts?
I like the lowered look because the tires fill the wheel well but I don't want to go this route. Spacers will give me the look I'm after with the expense or causing the ride to suffer.

Spacers don't inherently cause vibrations, but can if they're low quality or improperly installed. Even then I've bought generic spacers from eBay and Amazon with good results and zero vibrations. Just make sure you get grade 8 or 10.9 hardware. Play it safe and get spacers from brands like H&R.
I've had at least four sets of spacers on various cars, all without any issues. Ideally they should have a textured finish at the faces so they provide an effective clamp load as this is how your wheels stay on the car.
The better route is to get spacers w/ extended studs.
The best route is to get proper fitting wheels and avoid spaces altogether. But you should be fine w/ spacers so long as they're nice quality w/ strong bolts/nuts.
