As long as they are hub centric to your car, your wheel and the spacer to each other,
i don't see a problem for track use only.
If they aren't hub centric, the tension rests on the studs...
Which causes it to wooble and fall of...
About the low ET, i run 17x9 ET-12 for two years now.., no problem at all.
And the wheel bearings are 10 y/o...
It causes the bearing to wear out quicker but not as fast as you would think.
Track could be quicker then street use...

I think the point of pushing out the wheel is to find the correct backspacing with offset then one wouldn't need spacers. At least in my eyes.[B][SIZE="1"][URL="https://www.youtube.com/user/RickyMoranis"]Youtube Channel [/URL]

Granted once we get the 225/50R17 mounted on 17x8's it's going to be very tight.. and that's the best stance I'm allowed to achieve.

My "hearsay" is based on past experiences (mainly images) of wheels/spacers being incorrectly installed by the individuals or wheel/tire shops where the lugs had been over tightened half assed.

I shouldn't have even responded, I asked a question, and instead of answers, I receive opinions. Typical troll bait, and I naively took it.
Thanks for the help everyone, I believe I may have found a solution.[B][SIZE="1"][URL="https://www.youtube.com/user/RickyMoranis"]Youtube Channel [/URL]
