5/16'' spacer.. SAFE?? I put some on my rear Z06 wheels and wanted to hear opinions. It is a tiny bit over 1/4 inch and the wheel went in well and fit over the hub with no problems . The lug nuts are on there pretty good too. I just want to know if you guys think that this is safe.

I would do the same if I were you. I have had zero issues and have driven across country. Those ARP studs are very high quality and strong as hell.
I would also run better wheel studs and call it good. I run longer/stronger wheel studs and a spacer at the drag strip and on my z06 wheels. It holds 1.4 60's. You will probably be fine with what you have but it will only be better upgrading.

After going back to check my work I noticed that with the 5/16'' spacer the nuts where only on by 3.5 turns. So I just removed the spacers and put on some 2/16'' spacers from an IROC. The wheel sits alot better on the hub now and I feel much safer now.
