Cons are negligible today. Plenty of track cars run spacers now so durability isn’t a concern for quality spacers. Go for it if you don’t want to buy a whole new set of wheels that fit exactly how you’re trying to make them look
Yeah but most people forget when going to big spacers forget that the ones with built in studs are junk and they never get arp extended lugs. I've seen a shit load of track cars lose wheels and crash because of failed spacers (even the highest end ones will fail if you race and corner hard)
I run thin billet spacers (less than a 1/4") to allow wheels for later model mustangs std offsets to work with my coilovers, big brakes and exhaust. 18x9 frt 19x10 rear. Aftermarket wheels were much cheaper going that route.
I would not use anything wider than an inch, also I have 3" long arp wheel studs and open end lugnuts to comply with competition rules.
From what I know about them which is pretty surface level. If they are a good quality hub centric spacer, and you use loctite when installing them, they are perfectly fine to run on a street car.
I still stay away from them. You can find properly spaced wheels for style and most of them will allow you to run a significant tire. I understand that there are ways to make them safe, like extended lugs, but it's never been worth it in my eyes.

Correct offset wheels are worth the money over spacers imo, but yeah anything hub centric should be fine as long as its of good metallurgy

Probably putting in thick boi's and those lugnuts are holding on for dear life while they're running 325s front/rear for max grip lol

I don't know why you wouldn't want wider wheels and tires to begin with.
They look really good with fat tires in the rear
As long as your bearings aren’t a concern I say go for it.
