    If you get proper hub and wheel centric ones and longer lug bolts then no, you're not going to have any issues. If you buy cheap eBay **** then you may be risking it

    Well I'm getting adapters from Adaptec within the next few weeks and they also make spacers. Most of the boys on here swear by them so yeah

    Just be aware that fitting spacers on any vehicle that was not fitted with them from the factory (apparently a few porsche models were) is illegal in every Australian state.

    Ecstuning, h&r, Adaptec all make quality spacers
    You need to make sure they are correct for your car and wheels and are installed correctly. (hub and wheel centric, they actually mount correctly, bolt length, bolt type, torqued correctly etc)

    As above, they are illegal in aus, so be prepared for fines/defects from police, void insurance, unroadworthy car and so on
