Wheel Spacer Question

Quick Question: Thoughts on spacers. I have 1.5" spacers and I love the look and extra flex when tires have a wider stance. Not sure if i should add them or will they just cause more problems in the long run?

Please also comment and let me know your stories (good or bad) about running wheel spacers.

As long as you put them on tight, and check them every so often you will be fine. Fyi tire shops get iffy about them.

I have 1.5" spacers on mine, have been running with them for a year+. Have had absolutely zero problems with them. I hand torqued the spacers to 100 ft lbs. And the wheels to 85 ft lbs. Any time I have a wheel of I check the torque and I haven't had one come loose yet.
