Another Spacer Question

Has anybody ever had a problem with a properly installed hubcentric spacer? I have read everything I could find on multiple forums and the only negatives are always backed up with engineering theory. I didn't find anyone that had a serious failure. Increased bearing wear seems legit but not a huge problem. I plan on using Ichiba 15mm Version II.

if you truly did search you have come across the other theory suggested that running spacers is the same thing as running a low offset wheel, can it have problems down the road? maybe , do a lot of people use spacers? yes,


just drive with spacers on, if you feel vibrations or don't feel comfortable with them then dont drive with them on

my thing is that spacers are a temporary solution until the new wheels come, but of course that time is longer and shorter for different people

i've been driving with 25/25 for a good few months now and no problems to report

Are you running factory 19" Rays with those spacers? Any rubbing issues with 25/25?

I'm thinking of going with 20/25 but i don't want any rubbing issues.
