I would never use them for cosmetic reasons. In that application you are using them for a negative purpose. That is moving the wheels away from the designed fitment. If you had aftermarket wheels and were attempting to correct a poor offset, then it would make sense.
But in this case you are altering a proper offset and problems are not a surprise.

I readily acknowledge that this was purely a cosmetic choice. I'll be the first to admit I like small mods that do both, make the car look better or make it perform better (perhaps both if lucky). If I can positively determine the gained aethetics are contributing to this annoyance I will remove them. It isn't worth it.
However are you saying that any movement of the stock contact patch location, either by a wheel itself or by a spacer is going to create problems? Does not sound likely to me. Can you define a "poor offset"? Thanks again.
