Why are the spidertrax so popular? I found "easy wheel" 2inch spacers on craigslist could get them shipped to me for around 135 for 4 spacers and 20 lug nuts. does that sound reasonable? 2 inches seems ever kill, any complications i would run into with something that size?

Are they both wheel and hub concentric?

Spidertrax are safest because they are wheel, hub, and lug centric

it means they takes the weight of the vehicle off the studs and puts it on the hub/wheel.. all the studs/lugs are doing is holding the wheel on the vehicle instead of supporting the weight of the vehicle... hence that little lip/shoulder on the spacer, takes the weight off the studs and places it on the hub- hubcentric.. lol
i found some 1" spacers that are hubcentric on EBAY that have that lip and will be purchasing them soon.

yes the weight is dispersed evenly- sorta. either way its not all on your wheel studs which could cause one to shear off.
