Default I know wheel spacers are bad... but...

I'm probably going to get some. I like the 24mm offset but can't afford new rims. Or just dont want to spend the $$$.

When I get wheel spacers I figured the 'adapter' type are safe since they bolt to your hubs then have their own studs.

But mustangwheelspacers.com has spacers that replace your studs with longer ones, and claims thats safer?

Opinions?

I've got 1" billet spacers on all four tires. I've had them on for 500+ miles with no problems.

All spacers do are push the wheel outward more.
