buy eibach pro spacers...they come in a 64mm center bore with a 64mm hub on the spacer itself so even though you're using a spacer, your spacer is a HUB CENTRIC spacer, so when you put on your wheels, make sure you get some hub centric rings and it will be a perfect match. some places say don't use spacers cuz it's dangerous, as long as you don't get crazy with like a 20mm spacer...if you use a spacer that big, just make sure you have extended studs and use open end lug nuts so that you'll get a secure fit. spacers if used correctly can actually improve the performance and handling of your car.

5mm wont be enough for the S-22. I have them on my 06 6MT and you need a minimum of a 7mm spacer. They don't stick out at all with the 7mm either

What makes the Spacers not safe? I went to Discount Tires near the house, they said "no" for running spacers.

alot of people say no to spacers, but you will be ok with a minimal amount, my rule of thumb is anything bigger than 10mm is a no no aka going from 45 to 35 to clear brakes

i have a friend that uses 45mm spacers on his race car....RACE CAR! there's nothing wrong with spacers...as long as everything is tightened, you should be okay...now this doesn't take into account that you may see more wear on your wheel bearings or what not....

I guess due to the "vibration" issue correct?
