I think it is just stance.

I enquired about then for the track and was told soundly "NO!".

That's because stance, you're going 5mph on any type of road imperfection.

Track, you're going as quick as possible, putting unnecessary stress on the lugs. To me, 5mm spacers are the max I would recommend.

Thats exactly why i dont want them on my car. The roads around here are chopped up and I cant predict how fast i might be going on them here and there... The last thing i want to have happen is be "spirited driving" and have an issue...
