It probably got started in the same places where spoilers, lowering kits, aerodynamic auto body parts, racing wheels & many other auto parts come from, "THE RACING WORLD". Car enthusiast use these products for aesthetics reason. After all, what purpose would a spoiler that helps keep a car pressed to the road at 140+ mph do for a person that never drives above the speed limit. I know that NHRA drag rules require at least 1/2" longer lug nuts beyond the front face of racing wheels. I'm sure all the other type of racing have similiar rules. FUNCTION is safety (more thread to hold wheel).
Using spacers is dangerous!!!!
