wheel spacers BAD or OK!!
Is it bad to run them on all for. The rim's I just got hit the brakes up front but they have a 40mm off set and the stock one are 38mm off set. It look like I would need a 10mm to 15mm spacer.

As long as you get a good quality spacer, it should be fine. I've run a 5mm spacer up front for a couple of years w/out issues and I know others have raced on larger spacers than that.

What brand and model are the wheels? Sounds like you need closer to a 20-25mm. Many people don't like them, for whatever reason. I ran 20mm spacers for a long time. Get something that is hubcentric, like the Ichiba brand that Touge Factory sells. Bolt-on spacers are fine. Slip-on with extended lugnuts are even better.

I've used them on my VW before and so have a lot of other VW owners. It will eventually wear out your wheel bearings but just make sure you have hubcentric spacers and it will save you a lot of trouble.
