stacking non-hubcentric spacers good or bad idea? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I want to know if its a good/safe idea to stack 2 non-hubcentric spacer (25mm thick) over eachother.

Would it be fine or is it a really really bad idea?

Thanks

Really bad idea. Normally the lugs AND the hub are supporting the weight of the car. If you don't have hubcentric spacers ALL of the weight is being supported by the lugs which can shear them off if you hit a bump hard enough.
