Why such a big spacer? thats huge. The most I would do for a spacer would be 20mm, maybe 25mm.

You can use them, but you will need to get extended studs. There are a lot of opinions out there on spacers causing stress on hubs, this information maybe true, but there are numerous people out there running spacers with extended studs and tracking their cars with no problems.

I have ran extended studs and wheel spacers on previous cars that saw the track and never had any problems. Just make sure you get extended studs and you should be good to go.

Are you tracking your car at all?

I don't see these posing any problems for you. Especially, if your car is not being tracked.

That's a huge spacer. I wouldn't do it. Daily with all those pot holes. All I have to say is good luck.

If you are really worried, you should try to sell the wheels you purchased, cut your losses, and buy wheels with fitments that will work on our cars.
