Take a look at this thread:

Spacers will not effect your tire wear. You may be getter increased inner tire wear due to the increased negative camber you are having to run to keep from rubbing...it looks like you have completely slammed the car.

yeah, the spacers will help your axels last longer and possibiliy cure that click from the back, but yould need to raise it or get a alignment done, but that will cause you to rub usually if your running anything aftermarket.

Spacers have NO BENEFIT AT ALL. Anyone who says otherwise has been dooped.
