Spacers add weight (unsprung) and increase the stuff (dirt, rocks, ect.) thrown up on the side of your car. They are NOT going to improve your handling.

 

For aftermarket wheels, buy the correct offset, vs trying to fix a fitment issue with spacers.

 

Always use the proper, longer, wheels bolts when adding spacers.

 

Small spacers, like the OE Porsche 5mm spacers, are fine, and aid in cleaning your wheels and calipers, because it gives you that extra 1/4" of gap to get your cleaning rag/brush in there. The 5mm spacer is purely aesthetic.
