With that being said, if you have to use them I'll give you my opinion on them since I have used them for over 7 years on my other cars as well. If you are going to use them, then do the following and you'll be fine.
- Always try get them from a reputable company like Eibach and H&R's. Those companies have been using spacers for off roading and such for years. Not sure about Ebay brands, just risky to me
- Always torque them down to spec! Torquing it tighter is actually more riskier so nothing over 140 ft lb (torque spec for the SS)
- Always make sure they're hubcentric IE Eibach/H&R's make it model specific for our cars that fits flush on our bore/hub
If you do those steps correctly, the spacer and wheel assembly will work well as whole unit and you won't have issues. I have them for over a year now, went over 125 mph w/out a single issue or vibrations. Then again, I have high quality spacers from Eibach and installed them correctly.

Only reason I have looked at these is from the post

Honestly the reason I am going for spacers is because I like the GM 5 Split spoke wheels I have but wish they sat flush with the edge of the wheel well.
Open to suggested high quality brand spacers, please link! I don't want to replace my wheels or buy wider ones and increase my yearly maintenance cost
