JMO, I have seen others who would reccomend them and have had no problems but I have never been comfortable with spacers or drilling/grinding or altering wheels so they would fit. I helped a friend once and we could never keep the lug nuts tight. I also would be concerned with the change in loading on the wheel bearings if you used spacers especially with vehicles this heavy. Once more just my opinion.

not knowing about wheel spacers, but as a machinist ill say any trouble with spacers will most likely they did not mike it right. ie, hole sizes to big, wrong material, AL 200-400 series rather than 7075 T6. just my ideas.
