Hmmm... Most of the digging I have done regarding spacers repeatedly reveals issues of excessive wear on tires and suspension parts, reduced ride quality and potential mechanical failure (aka: not safe).
From a posting on another site >>
Think I'll play it safe and avoid them.

not pushing pros/cons of spacers, just another comment...offset will affect scrub radius, which with ABS brakes could cause the steering to pull...Ive often wondered why the huge offset on newer cars, but *think* its mostly to minimize steering pull during abs operation...would expect bumpsteer has to get a bit worse too.
I think spacers or deeper wheels might DECREASE bearing loads a bit as the wheel becomes closer to no offset- big positive or negative offsets will stress stuff, but with the huge existing wheel offset, the spacers just decrease it...
just throwin this out to see what others think...just another opinion

I bought my 1" wheel spacers from Tillman Speed for $150 for all 4! talk to CR, I believe they were called TopLine Wheel Spacers.
going on 6 months, no problems. long 1200 mile haul from myrtle beach, a couple events at the race tracks and back, still snug! no problems

I have got 18x9.5 shelby rims in the front and back and can feel the front hitting something when cornering very sharply when parked or at very low speeds. Since the rim is pretty thick, would a spacer be what I am looking for to stop the knocking or what? Which size would I need to get?
