Wheel spacers are often used when the offset of the given wheel is not quite ideal for the final package that the consumer wants. Whether it is because of the narrowness of axles or insufficient wheel offset, Centric wheel spacers can put the tires and wheels where the client wants them to be with ease.
How do wheel spacers work?
By increasing the wheel's offset, one places more stress on the studs of the axle, and in a front side axle application on the unit spindles and the simple ball joints of the axle. One can also increase the scrub radius of the concerned tire, which will, in turn, change the way the vehicle handles its speed and increase the level of difficulty of slow-speed turning.
By adding wheel spacers to the vehicle, one is also adding more components to the vehicle, and obviously, the more components the vehicle has, the more the potential it has for absolute failure. Therefore one has to make sure to properly torque and tighten all of the nuts and bolts of the spacer, and one will never face a single issue.

With all of that being said, wheel spacers are a very cost-effective way to keep the existing wheels that one has while increasing the track width in an adequate way. We've personally seen them work very successfully on race trucks a good number of times, and we've personally used them in applications of rear axle to increase the width of a track of a stock rear axle to match that of a custom front axle.
Appropriate Centric Wheel spacers do not hurt ride quality at all. On the contrary, they improve the ride quality. If the client wants a comfortable ride with smooth performance, then addition of wheel spacers to the vehicle is the simplest way to improve the ride quality of the car. By increasing the width of the track, spacers help the vehicle perform in an improved way on the road. A wider track means more grip for friction in almost all applications in general. The driver will certainly have a better experience while cornering.
