I've got a line on some light weight racing wheels for cheap. I will need a 2" adapter for the front and 1.75" for rear. The spacers I am looking at have 12mm 1.5 studs. Would this application be safe to race on?

I have a couple of buddies running spacers exactly like these 35mm thick (1.37 inch) with no problems. These here are for RUF tuned P-car.

I may be going to 50 mm which is what is concerning me but thanks, thats a little more re-assuring.

BTW, there is a company here in the USA by the name of Motorsport Tech that makes them from Alcoa 6061t6 billet aluminum. He can custom make anything you need.
