I never recomment spaces, they are not only HACK, but unsafe! i will not sell them at work, and i will not recommend them here. Proper wheel fitment dictates ATLEAST 6 turns of a lug nut for proper torque yeild on the studs.

I do agree that slip on wheel spacers are kinda hack, but I think unsafe is going a little too far. If done correctly (longer heavier duty studs) I think slip on spacers would be okay but personally I will only use (and do use) the bolt on spacers that let you have the full stud thread for a true torque. Eibach had done tons of trial and research before releasing their performance spacers, so I trust that they are street and track safe.
