Running spacers is never ideal over proper offset wheels. With that said Ive had them on all my cars until deciding on what wheels I wanted. If that listing is true it is quality materials and proper rated studs so you should be ok with them.
I decided to take the front spacers off the wheels after doing more test drive. The test drive seemed to make the car bumpy, harder on the potholes. I felt that this reaction would wear and damage the suspension way faster and abnormally. And after learning about positive and negative scrub radius, I couldn't risk it.
Once I took the front spacers off, I took the car for another test drive and, sure enough, it was back to its original condition.
I left the rear spacers on the wheels. Tomorrow I plan on replacing the rear spacers with the ones I used for the front (20mm). The rears are (25mm).

Im surprised anything was that noticeable. But as mentioned proper offset wheels are the main goal. If you plan on upgrading wheels soon and you want the good looks spacers provide. Any additional stress caused will not effect the long term performance of your suspension much.

I do want proper offset tires. But I cannot justify replacing brand new tires and rims after buying a $55,000 car. I guess I'll have to wait for a while. I did replace the rear spacers for the ones I had put on the front. It feels better but offers a little more over-steering when cornering hard.
I might replace the rear ones with smaller spacers.
I sincerely hate how the gap for the wheels look without the spacers. Specially the rear wheels.
