will they do any harm or is there any risk in putting them on? i dont see why it would make a difference but i was told that they arent safe
 
they will increase wheel bearing wear.

they arent necessarily "unsafe" as long as you check your wheel bearings regularly and dont abuse your vehicle.
 
ok so if im going to be offroading a lot you wouldnt suggest it then?
 
Well there made from 6061 T6 billet aluminum & cnc machined & hve 1/2 wheel studs pressed into the back side & there torqued to specs as if they were the wheel being installed on the vehicle.

Boyd Coddington,Jesse James wheels are made from the same material ,NO safety issues there.

Check out the front hub set ups on factory dually 1 ton truck, they all have factory style spacer that sets the dually front wheel center farther out to allow for the tire to clear the suspension & they use the same wheel bearing as the single wheel 1 ton trucks.

Using a 1.25-2.0 wheel spacer with a 15x8 wheel is not any different then buying a heavier 15x10 wheel with more back spacing.

I have cherokee wheels on my ranger & im using 1.5 wheel spacers on all four corner's so as to make the whole vehicle have th wider stance along with giving me the extra turning clearance for the 31x10.50 Yokahoma Geolander A/T.
