I saw one lift a whole sheep over its head once. I thought "wow, thats pretty strong for a wheel spacer". :D

Probably need to get longer studs. Wheel spacers aren't legal either.

take note those are bolt on spacers (well thats what they look like)
they are safe, in general the others arent, even with extended wheel studs they are sus as it takes the load off the hub and onto the studs
