keep a good eye on them at rotation time. i seen a lot of failed wheel spacers when i worked at the dealership. hub centric ones are a lot less prone to stud failure but they all can fail.

is 1.5'' really enough to accelerate bearing failure? not trying to be a smart a$$, just cant see by looking at the pics how that could be when i seen trucks with like super off set rims and the tires stick out way more than that.

anythings gonna break if you put it on wrong.some of the accidents are caused by people not cutting back the stock stud that holds on the spacer ,then jamming there wheel on and bolting down.even one mm of play and oops.

the guy that said he saw so many aluminum lugs fall off .i dont think so.. they use steel lugs on any adapter ive ever seen.. just make sure they are pressed in not threaded in .

Looks really nice!! I had some spacers on a sierra that I had before I grew up and got a real truck but I never had problems with them. I just checked the torque on the nutz when I did my tire rotation/oil change.
