Any danger in running 25mm spacers?

I put a rotora bbk on my base tl and now my aftermarket rims (f14s) do not clear the brakes. So, I have to get some 25mm spacers. Is there any danger in running these?

I was running a 3" spacer on my S10 for 2 years.

It is the spacer between the hub and wheel. I think he's trying to show how thick the spacer is.

Yes I was. The S10 is a pickup truck, we had replica Corvette wheels on it and the offset was so wack my dad had to make a spacer, they don't sell aftermarket spacers that big.

Almost every day, to school back and forth and then to work. Drove it like that for 2 years and my dad drove it for I think a year before I did. Running that big of a spacer, I see no harm in running a 25mm. Just make sure it's by a reputable vendor.

Not sure about exact measurement of the spacer but 3" equals out to 76.2mm.

Why do you have to run a 25mm spacer? Unless you're running some ridiculously sunken offset, a thinner spacer should work fine.
