Opinions on Wheel Spacers
Anyone have any experience with them?
I've seen spacers from 3mm to 25mm that widen your wheelbase. Would using spacers be safe? If not, why?
Would you be able to use two difference sizes of spacers to achieve a staggered look safely? Like wider ones on the back, thinner ones on the front?
Has anyone already done this? Pictures?
Thanks.

You are essentially reducing the thread count on your lugs, ultimately reducing the amount of threads your lug nuts can grab onto. Personally I would never use them unless I lengthened the lugs, even then I wouldn't feel 100% confident, especially on the track.

you wont put a lot of stress on the hubs them selves but...........
it will stress bearings, tie-rod ends, steering rack, wheel studs, and.......
if you you don't get them on dead center an unbalanced spacer can be hard on the shocks
