im looking into getting 1/2 inch wheel spacers for looks but i was wondering since i race my car alot on the track if launching the car hard with the spacers on would they be able to handle the force or do you think that they will snap

It depends, if you go with a slip on like MM you need hardened studs, but a bolt on spacer like Eibach or H&R will be fine. My H&R's were on a guys Cobra so he could fit a smaller rim on his 13 Rear brake kit.

Don't go with any brand not mentioned above as wheel spacers are not something to cheap out on.

I've had my H&R spacers on for quite a few years and go to the drag strip 2-3 times a week and have been lapping with it. No issues.

You can't get bolt on one's in 1/2" - you need longer hard studs.

MM 1/4" is the max plate you can fit without doing the ones with the bolts.
