Well, the first question is why?
Spacers put an undue amount of stress on the wheel bearings and will
cause them to fail much quicker. The are also not the safest things
since they can loosen up and the first time you learn about it is
when your wheel passes you up on the road.
It is always best to use rims with the proper backspacing.

Re: Opinions on wheel spacers
I wouldn't trust them I've seen too many of them have the wheel
break off, on just the old VW pans used as dune buggies. And there's a
couple of Jeeps on the internet that had there adapted wheels break off,
I found while searching for broken Dana 35c axles. Just buy the right
rim, in the first place.

Re: Opinions on wheel spacers
Every set of spacers I've ever seen have a BIG warning sticker on the box
saying "Not Intended for Offroad Use!" Me, I'd save up and get wheels with
the correct back-spacing. Also, as Doug says, it would be real bad to see
one of your wheels pass you on the highway. Good Luck!
Best,
Don
