- Use of spacers can lead to "premature" suspension wear also, if the offset is large enough. If the difference is that great, you may want to consider having an alignment done on the car.
- Wheels falling off is another possibility with spacers, but it is most likely to happen because of user did not get the correct bolts or installation error. However, since it is an add-on parts, the possibility of spacers cracking also exists. It is rare, especially with quality spacers, but it is not impossible.


IMO, wheels with build in desired offset > hub-centric spacers > ebay spacers. That said, having run the wheels you have, Id just get rid of them and get something nicer. Proper quality spacers will cost you some big bucks. (~400 bucks per 4 proper hubcentric spacers bigger than 15mm)
It's really not worth worrying about it every time you drive, is my wheel gunna come flyin off at 60mph, did that last pot hole finally do it? Is this gunna kill my wheel bearings? Is this murdering my tires from the suspension being out of whack?

Just go to tire rack and get some nice wheels with a better offset. Mustang wheels work nice.
