with my new set up, i'm considering spacers to give her a wider stance.
can EVERYONE who is running spacers pls chime in and let me know if you've had any safety issues and/or concerns? also, any difference or variance in performance handling?

My Ride: No mods
Its safe John. I have some 5mm spacers in the front right now to make the front tires flush with the fenders.
Back when I had the 166s, I ran 10mm spacers in the rear. Its all cosmetics

nah, i was able to "negotiate"...you guys should know me better than that! i'm debating on going with 285's, but my tires are fairly new....so the spacers will be a temp fix.
