Yep sure is, im not planning on screeching round corners or ragging it around a track like most people on here so all will be fine
screeching round corners? noone on here does that!
Would 20mm spacers be too much stress on my wheel nuts?

That reply was merely to a very silly piece of info you gave there. If you put spacers on, you put more stress on the wheel bearings, end of. If you can't afford to replace wheel bearings as and when they go, don't put spacers on.

Show me where there was mention of wheel bearings in between the first post and my post.
Oh yeah, none.
I refer you to the thread title "Would 20mm spacers be too much stress on my wheel nuts?"
I've been running a mix of between 15mm and 30mm spacers for the last 6 years on both my cars,never had an issue!
Got 19000 posts in over on sxoc,and this comes up for discussion monthly. not one bearing has been proven to go through spacers,and over 50% of nissan 200's are running them!
Running wider wheels/tyres will put as much stress on bearings as spacers,if not more!

Ahhhh Just though I'd pop in......errrrr ohhhh no reply to the wheel bearings bit then? lol
My bad Matt, thought it was you who said about the wheel bearings, when it was cryingfreeman. But i would have thought there is still more strain on the wheel nuts if you don't go with hubcentric spacers, i know not all members on here have opted for them
Just stuck 10mm on the rear of mine and brought the wheels out to the same distance as the fronts. Dont forget the LCR has wider track at the front..
The longer bolts will thread into the hub the same distance also the hubcentric spacer takes some of the load as it rests on the centre of the hub where the bearing bolt sits, so i would say it was very minimal stress, if any...

No worries....
what you think of these:

15mm Aluminium spaces (hub centric) from Latvia (lol)

I can DEFINITELY understand there being stress on the wheel bolts if you use NON hubcentric spacers.
But do you think we have all come to the conclusion that if you have hubcentric spacers that a fitted correctly then the nuts will be fine and only take a little extra stress )if any) of standard skinny wheels.
And that the wheel bearings again, if using hubcentric spacers should too be fine (and only take a slight amount of extra stress if any)???
