Adding spacers changes the geometry of the suspension; and adds double the hardware to mount each wheel. Nobody has yet mentioned what happens when you have to slam on the brakes and, or do an evasive maneuver with your spaced out wheels at highway speeds. Has anyone practiced this to gain experience? Also adding anti-seize to threads (as someone mentioned) changes the torque value - so what is the new correct value? Is your insurance going to cover you in the event of an accident with these modifications? If I was going to add spacers, I'd want to know the answers to these questions.
