Posts #9 and #38 give actual data from metallurgical testing of a few mfg's spacers.

So the moral of the story is to get quality components, install them properly, and then remember to actually maintain them.

I'm pretty sure it is illegal to use the washer style spacers everywhere. The hub centric / lug centric bolt on spacers are fine. I had G2 spacers on my Jeep for a while before I got a deal on some second hand wheels / tires.
Don't skip steps, clean the rotor, remove retaining clips, apply anti-seize, install the spacer, apply red loctite, tighten by hand, torque in the star pattern up to about 90lbs. Re-torque after 100miles or so.

Just installed Spidertrax today on new JKUR... Follow the instructions and you're good.
Not sure what company... But a guy at work has a set on his jku... The spacers are smaller diameter than the hat of the rotors... (What the wheel is up against).
The spiders are about 1/8-1/4" smaller diameter compare to his which has to easily be over 1/2" smaller or more
