Well you say this, but I do have two nagging doubts.
I'm late to the party here I know because I've been off this forum for a long while now. Just popped back in yesterday to post some pics and saw this thread.
I've long "thought" about spacers, but always dismissed them for 2 main reasons:
#1. I think in the long run they will add extra unnecessary wear on the bearings and cause premature failure.
#2. I don't like the idea of having my wheels perfectly "spaced in the center" twice. I've had big problems with "ring" spacers in the past, such a problem I said I'd never do it again. I realize these Z spacers don't have the rings, they are a solid part of the spacers, but it still makes me wonder in the long run.
Basically, I use my car as a daily driver as much as possible, and I'm afraid the spacers will cause long term premature wear on the bearings, and also cause possible "wobble" (unbalanced) problems. By this time after all these years I wonder if there are any people out there having these problems?
Am I being over cautious here or just plain dumb?
Thanks for any advise anyone can give.
Cheers ---- Bonzo
