5mm not enough to make a difference imo.

any more than that though, i would say get a bolt on spacer w/ lugs or get extended ones.

Buy mine! They'll match your car!

brianlin is right tho, extended lugs are not NEEDED for 5mm spacers.

when you say "not enough to make a difference" do you mean looks wise or needing extended lugs?

You should be fine. I put 5mm spacers on the back of my 2003 Maxima. The general rule is that you should be able to turn the lug nut 8 rurns for it to be safe enough.

Ya he probably means look wise, but it was just enough for the Max.

if you cant turn your lug nuts more then 3 full turns then you need extended studs. 5mm should be safe. otherwise like brianlin87 said get the bolt on spacer if you go any bigger.

For a 12x1.5 lug nut, the minimum number of turns should be 6.5. I have barely that with a 3mm spacer. If it were my car I'd go with extend lugs with a 5mm spacer but it's your car so it's your choice.
