RE: wheel spacers

not snap an axel, sheer off lug studs. That and they change the handling characteristics of the car since they change how the weight of the car is distributed on the lugs/wheels themselves (centerline)

RE: wheel spacers

245 on a 9" wide rim??? don't you mean 275? And no, I mean they could hurt handling, they change the dynamics of the front end with the geometry of the steering and center of gravity.
