hi

Are wheel spacers safe to use in front hubs if you using the car for track use?

Just wondering if you putting car through alot of abuse round the track will they damage the hub or worse give way
 
Correctly sized hubcentric spacers and good quality extended studs shouldn't be an issue. I have 20mm hub spacers on front, and both 12.5mm hub and 12.5mm axle spacers on the back. I rag the tits off Reggie and so far all his wheels have stayed put. Hit a few nasty potholes and they don't budge.
 
Just make sure to get good quality studs, will be fine 20mm or under.
I don't recommend them for FRPs though, mine felt awful after fitting 20mm spacers, horrible floaty feeling over 60mph. I know you don't have an FRP but just in case someones reading this who does.
