i have some real nice 16" 6 lug wheels i wanted to put on the burb but they have the wrong offset and hit the tie rod slightly are wheel spacers safe for a daily driver that may see fireroads and mild off road?

yeah you need to check tightness every once and a while, but they will work, i wouldent abuse them too much though

Do a quick search in the garage - there were a bunch of posts about spacers. I thought about using them, but didn't need them. There are lots of folks here who use them with no problem.

I used to be leary of spacers but my buddy just put some on his G-Wagon so his 35s would clear the steering arm, and he hasn't noticed any problems at all. He used some of the non-permanent loc-tite on his and I think that helps keep them from loosing up. His spacers are 1.25" spacers. I think you would be fine using them.
