Wheel Spacers I know theres alot of bad, but I have seen some good out of them. I'm not talking about getting some $30 ebay spacers. I want to get some good quality spacers with hub centric rings.
So if you have any experience lets hear it, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I searched but didn't come up with anything so maybe we can get some info here.
Thanks in advance

As long as you stay under 1/4", you will be fine and get enough thread engagement w/ extended lug nuts. Check out the thread "spacers for bmw work on an fbody" that I commented on for more info that was posted within the last day or two.

HAHA uh, 2" spacers...hub centric rings on both sides, ARP studs on the axle side and quality spacers.
There are guys on a jeep forum that I visit that are running 2" spacers on offroad vehicles without problems, and some of those guys are crazy, but I worry about hitting a large bump in the road at speed and breaking one and that is just not an option IMHO
I emailed motorsport tech they said $130 for the 2" spacers with hub centric rings on both sides. I have more questions for them before I make a decision.

Well I have done quite a bit of research and the only bad things that I have heard are from people being stupid and not installing them properly. Having the wheel fall off and the spacer is still attached to the vehicle, then saying that it was the spacers fault.
Most people don't even get hub centric spacers and don't have any problems. I'm going to order the spacers from motorsport tech that are hub centric on both sides.
Can someone tell me what measurement of the hubs on the wheels are?
