Wheel Spacers- YEA or NAE?

Anybody had any luck with these? If so are there any threads about it? All I could find were threads that had nothing to do with it when i searched. Thanks in advance>

spacers add unnecessary strain on wheel studs and bolts and can cause premature failure, and are never a good idea, especially in a car that will see any sort of track time or hard driving. just get rims that actually fit the car and leave the spacers for the honda boys to get their "stance"

I have two sets of 18s that are both 7.5, got it from the purchase of my car so not investing in anymore wheels unless I sell one of mine. I am fully aware of the consequences of spacers, but I am not driving it hard or will I track my car. Thanks for the info to the spacers W

Thanks W. I'm still running the stock 17" on mine until the RL's wear out. Then it's time for wheel upgrade. is the offset of the 19" the same as the 17"?

They look good but they don't say whether they come with bolts or not. HR has 25 and 30mm. Need to measure the gap when I get home.

The Burger spacers look good as well and come with bolts but only up to 20mm.
