Default Need spacer help ASAP! Safety question...

Hello,
I just got my Ichiba v2 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers mounted today. However, when I look at the back of the wheel, it looks as though there is some excess parts of the wheels that stick past the spacer. As in, the spacer diameter is not big enough for the back of the wheel to mount flush like it would on the stock wheel hub. Is this normal? Is it safe?! I am driving 100 miles tomorrow and do not want my wheels to come off or for one of the studs to break or the lugnut to come off from a dip or pothole.

Please look at this photo and let me know your thoughts. Any advice is appreciated.




Thanks,
Theo

OK.... I just spoke to a tech at Ichiba and he said it's fine. I guess it looks more dangerous than it is then.
