    My Tire and Wheel guy, who has been in the business for 25 years, will not install them or use them under any circumstances. Says they increase critical wear and can be unsafe. I know lots of guys use the without issue, but after doing my own research personally I'll stay away from them.

    Spidertrax is a relatively reputable brand with Toyota enthusiasts. Generally, you want to shoot for hub-centric spacers if you plan to run them. In short, running these types of spacers are almost equivalent to having aftermarket rims with different backspacing.

    Brands mentioned are good, hub centric for sure. Installation is biggest factor; needed to be torqued correctly to MFG specs.

    If you buy them new, they'll come with thread locker. USE IT. If you don't buy them new, put some blue thread locker on each stud. I've never had any problems with spacers and I've had both of the aforementioned brands.

    There is nothing wrong with a reputable set of spacers that are installed and maintained correctly.

    Made in the USA and Hubcentric like others have said.
    Get them re-torqued every tire rotation.
    Zero issues if maintained properly.
    Exactly the same as running offset wheels with exactly the same wear and tear.

    Bora and Spidertrax or https://www.wheeladapter.com/

    All depends on quality, and maintenance just like majority of parts.

    i purchased mine from wheeladapter.com. I had them for two and a half years without any issues. its pricey but has great reviews in other car/truck forums. only reason i took them out because costco wouldnt install my new tires without taking them out. Ive been lazy to put them back
