Is there any risk of anything going bad while using hub-centric spacers? Not the kind that just take up space, but the kind that put the weight on the hubs and add new studs.

I need some type of proof that hubcentrics are actually bad. Law of physics would mean nothing if htye are hubcentric.

Hubcentric's are the only ones to use but I'd still feel ify with them on. It's your ride so do what you want, but you asked.

i just put eibach's 1" hub centric spaceer on the rear of my car. makes a hell of a nicer stance. i have read nothing that says anything bad about these kind of spacers, the other kind yes but not these. i ordered h&r spacers but they were out so i got the eibach's (stangmods.com), exact same ones by both companies. nothing wrong with hub centric spacers

I want DD, but I cannot afford them. I am 19 and paying for my car, insurance and mods. I would rather invest in other stuff first.
