I want to put spacers on my 94 celica GT but i went to tire discount and they dont recommend it, should i believe that ? are they safe when it comes to wearing out arms and bushings ?

^ i've herd people say that, but i myself and many others have driven with spacers for years without any ill effects. heck many car makers have some form of spacing, be it bolt style hub like the accords and bmws, even the brake rotor itself is a spacer. unless your running 5" thick spacers i wouldnt worry about things happening to much, these cars are old and for the most part the bearings are probabally original in most of these.

some rwd cars use the same bearings as fwd cars and rwd guys run 0 to -15 offset. all your doing is changing the offset, if your worried i say just use a reasonable size spacer.
