Not really.... small added stress to your hubs/wheel bearings mostly... and studs if the spacers are not hubcentric....

I mean if your axles snap, it won't be because of the spacers....

i run 20mm hub-centric spacers on the rear and i haven't had any problems thus far. i swear off on the lug-centric ones though. my old boss at a shop i worked at didn't agree with any spacers of any kind.
