anything wrong with using wheel spacers?

I would take the time to read through this thread.

Probably one of the best discussions on wheel spacers that I have come across.

^^ If you go through recent threads in the wheels.tires section you'll see the consensus is it's not safe to do that. Some have suggested that "maybe' a 3 mm spacer would be OK (ttrank) but to be safe you need extended lugs with any spacers. I actually started a question thread on this topic a couple of months ago because I have no experience with the and was curious. https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...gs-needed.html

Anything over 5mm should have built in studs or you need to buy longer studs and replace your OEM ones. You follow that and you more than likely will never have problems with spacers.
Im running 15mm and 10mm and never had issues. I used Loctite on the spacer nuts to make sure they never work loose.
After you install spacers check and tighten them the next few days, the built in studs are usually press fit into the spacers and once installed on the car, the force from driving may loosen them, so tighten them up to seat the studs all the way against the spacer a day or 2 after installing them.
