TBH the spacers and extended bolts I used were probably only designed for use with slightly larger wheels than standard. But the wheels I had on my Escort were over twice the normal width, not to mention the difference in offset . If the extended bolts I had used did not snap, then I don`t think my wheel bearings would have lasted too long (a bit like Chop Shop-London Garage....LOL....).
So I would not worry too much about using spacers or extended bolts, as long as they are suitable and you re-torque the wheel nuts after a short amount of use .
Regards,
Ian.

i do drift m car and give it alot of abuse in ways which would put extra strain on the studs so its up to you weather you use spacers i personal wont use that type again but there are different kits which are designed not to do it!

The wheel studs must have been made of chocolate, they should never break under any circumstances.
