why? did you but the wrong offset rims? do your rims not fit upgraded brakes?

if the answer to both is no, then do not do it. mas maikli yung kagat ng nuts which is not good and it can also cause more stress on the wheel bearings.

A more expensive option is to replace the mags with a zero or negative offset rating.

I agree. My advice: If possible don't do it.

Mga sir, thank you for all your replies!
My fathers main reason why he wants to install a wheel spacer is to widen the stance of his crosswind. Alam nyo naman ang crosswind mataas but narrow. Matagal na akong kinukulit about it pero sabi ko I'll get more information muna about it.
But since medyo pricey din and it has negative effect, I'll personally discourage him on intalling one! Thanks again guys!
