I have my new 20" wheels on that have a +35mm offset compared to the stock +31mm offset. The front wheels look perfect and the backs look good too, but I would like to move the backs out a little and am considering using a 1/4" aluminum slide on spacer that will move the wheel only 2mm out further than stock. Only talking about the back wheels here and only a 2mm difference from stock so lug problems, suspension problems, bearings problems, etc. are mute. I could see these problems if someone was going to move the wheel out some distance further than stock, but 2mm is neglible, but the 1/4" difference it will make to the +35mm will get the rear wheel JUST inside the well. Anyone have any technical reasons why not to use a 1/4" aluminum spacer on the rear wheels of a 2007 Tahoe to get aftermarket wheels to where stock wheels would normally ride? Here is the spacer I am considering:

Thanks. I don't want to do anything that is unsafe or cause problems with ride quality, etc.

IMO I'd stay away from spacers because of the added stress it puts on the lugs. I realize that 5mm isn't much but that's just how I roll.

You're right...it looks great the way it is...staying away from clap trap spacers...only looking for trouble...to correct 4mm isn't worth risking a wheel coming off a $50k vehicle....
