Anyone using wheel spacers? I really don't know anything about them or the negative affects if any

I bought a set off ebay a couple weeks ago. 1.25" hub centric. Seem to be very nice quality pieces. I've rechecked torque on them a couple times and once after last weekends TSF run and they're holding torque fine. I think this is the biggest negative about them, if they come loose because you havent checked torque. A friend has used them on his jeep now for 6 or 7 years without problems.

Jeep actually seems to track a bit better now, and I like being able to turn to the stops again. Another reason I wanted the spacers was to keep the fenders from hitting anything. After watching some video of people doing a hill climb at TSF I realized without the tires sticking out a little bit the fenders would have been rubbing the mud wall.

Here's the ones I bought. 4 Pcs Jeep TJ XJ Hub Centric Billet Wheels Spacers Adapters 1 25" Machined | eBay

no.

Just make sure they are the adapter type and not just a piece of metal sandwiched in between the rim and rotor.
Do they make your wheels wobble?

6+ years on ebay spacers, zero issues :). I always check torque when I rotate my tires.
