Default Wheel spacer question

I know the solid, billet aluminum spacers are stronger than the individual ones that screw onto each lug, but would the individual ones be strong enough for the front end. Most of the rear and all of the torque is applied to the rear, so I bought the solid spacers for the rear, but if the individual ones are OK for the front, Ide like to spend $20 as opposed to the $60 for the solid ones.

How do you use the cart? I would hate to see you rolling along then flying out the front.

Personally i wouldnt trust the individual ones myself. Crashing your cart or running over somebody isnt worth the $40 savings if a wheel came off. Just my 2 cents.

Is there really that much of a risk of the wheel flying off with those? I guess it makes sense with all the extra leverage applied to the lugs, where the solid spacers support the weight with a chunk of aluminum.

Sometimes I have to ask a question out loud to get my mind in gear. Plus, its always good for others to point out the obvious things that you cant see because your cheap bone is in the way.

The solid ones actually bolt on with lug nuts and the single spacers would probably vibrate loose cause theres nothing keeping them on the hub. Hope this helps.

Yeah, but Im being cheap and trying to not spend money on new wheels.

Also, Im not going to need spacers on the front, but I may get some just to make it look better. Im not even sure Im gonna use spacers on the front though.
