    ...And I'm certain that's where the bad reputation these things have comes from.

    It was and it did. But some of that blame lies with the person who's running them. Half were probably installed then forgotten. Do that with any wheel or spacer and it's almost a given that something's going to go wrong. Be that as it may, the best solution is to buy the correct wheels to start with. More parts = more things can go wrong.

    hmm. I'm not ignoring this thread. There just seems like still too much debate on the subject to make a decision on this. Especially when safety is an issue.

    In your case, you just need to find out how thick your wheel adapter's going to be, (probably about 1") and then find out the specs on the wheels you're considering. You have to determine whether the adapter is going to push your offset/backspacing outside of a reasonable range.
