You know those NJ guys have to be babied. You can't expect them to put spacers on correctly when they haven't learned how to pump their own gas yet either. lol I'm kidding guys. Mine have been working fine for the past 3 years. I've had 2 different sized sets.

The issue with spacers is if they're not properly torqued & maintained. Over torquing And under torquing can result in faster and more excessive failures as opposed to over/under torquing wheels. So you really need to follow directions, otherwise they do become "unsafe". So while most failures can be attributed to "user error", there's the inherent factor that they're not as "user friendly" which ultimately leads to these user errors.

^ That's great! Glad to see the comedy rolling around here. I didn't mean anything by it. I lived in jersey a whole 8 weeks one time. (Boot Camp) Wasn't my favorite place for obvious reasons. Maybe i should give it another chance.

I have been using spidertrax spacers and have been doing some hardcore wheeling with my friend that owns a 07 FJ Cruiser on 35's with spacers with no failures to date. Its all about how you torque them and the company you go with. My spacers are torqued to 90 ft. lbs and the wheels are torqued to the spacers at 90 ft lbs. They have been installed 3 years now and have never found loose lug nuts or broken studs. I know 90 ft. lbs isnt a lot but it works for me. It came right off the installation instructions from spidertrax.

I have had mine for over a year & as you can tell from my photos & videos I wheel mine. I do 95 ft lbs on the spacers & rims. It was that on the install paperwork & never had an issue.
