If they're installed properly, I don't see why there would be any problems. Are you thinking about installing some? Eibach makes a great product.

nothing to worry about. just make sure they're hub centric or have hub centric rings.

if it helps at all, i was at formula drift last month and 90% of the cars in the competition were running spacers. i was surprised myself.

I have CZP 25mm spacers on the rear of my Z for many years now. Never a problem.

^ no. adding spacers is just adding spacers. tpms is located inside the wheel

Great spacers but i don't like bolt on spacers, i also think that if you need a 25mm spacer you should buy new wheels.

There is a huge thread on spacers in the wheel/tire tech forum (which is where this belongs).
