Make sure that the offset is going to work before you invest time into drilling rims. There is nothing safe about a wheel spacer. ---

I ran spacers for years, they’re completely safe as long as the bolts are aftermarket, long enough, and the spacers are hubcentric why are you saying there “is nothing safe about them” ? ---

you should just sell them and buy a new set. If they are for a different car and are OEM, you dont know if the hub bore is different either ---

I had one crack at highway speeds, that quickly made the wheel fall off. This was on the grand island bridge, and I almost had a serious accident. ---

Well thats you…and nobody cares about you. As long as nothing happens to Jam, I’d consider spacers safe.
