Racing with spacers

Is it dangerous, might something break? I rarely do any hard launches and it’s an a4 anyways. Think they are 1/4 or 1/8 on c5 z06 10.5

Hubcentrics on ARP studs are your safest bet.

NHRA used to allow them as long as it was only one per wheel I don't think that's changed, They are used quite often on both paved and dirt racing all the time.

I’m not worried about it, I guess that’s what I’m asking....should I worry? Don’t really race but don’t want to be scared if I ever get on it.

You have nothing to worry about as long as they are installed correctly and you have threads sticking past the lug nuts with them installed. Read some first hand accounts Here!

Hat style brake rotors are essentially a spacer. As stated, as long as the studs are long enough you won't have any problems.
