1.5" adapter ... ok or a no-no ?

i'm not sure if this post should be in the suspension section or tire section... but here goes the question.

y2k cobras have offset +36
y2000 has offset +24

i got the y2k.
so to fit y2k, i'm looking into 1.5" adapter?

stomper gave me a very convincing reasoning that the adapters are ok to use.

would using adapters to compensate for the offset be ok? i do A LOT of highway driving. should i forget about the adapters or are adapters good enough?

or would adapters put more stress and prematurely wear out my suspension? (as the "tire expert" at tire barn shop told me)

any comments, feedbacks will contribute greatly!

thanks!
