I can't imagine how they would break loose unless one didn't tighten them properly, so about the same risk as your normal lugnuts falling off lol.
As far as realistic negative impacts:
1. Rubbing. I had to roll my fenders to make this work.
2. Cutting. Rubbing can lead to cutting the tires or fender damage.
3. Wear issues. I doubt this changes camber, but many people run more camber to avoid rubbing, which will result in more inside wear.
4. Dirt! Since my tires stick out more, I notice a little mud on the side of my car.
This setup isn't for everyone, but it works for me. As far as questions related to cost and handling, they have been answered in my previous posts.

If you are going to run spacers, I would recommend getting mudflaps. With my summer wheels I run 15mm in the front and 5mm in the back to get my wheels to clear (they are 10 inches wide). before the mudflaps it was a constant barrage of gravel down the sides of the car.

its probably about the same as an 8 or a 9. the way i decided was to just look at ur inward fender gap and esimate how many mm or cm it is...or u can take a little ruler and measure. I ended up going 20mm front 15mm rear...lowered ~1.5" front, ~1" rear, alignment done and zero rubbing w/ zero fender modification. hit up touge factory for great deals on spacers
