If you can get wheels that fit without spacers you will be much better off. You won't necessarily have problems, but I've heard way too many people complain about vibration in the steering wheel (even using hubcentric spacers) at highway speeds for me to even think about using them.

i ended up getting a 5mm spacer because the offset was just perfect....a little too perfect if you ask me just to clear the brakes. i slammed my car more and ended up eating my tires because it rubbed against my coil.
the spacer helped me clear my tires. i have a very MINOR vibration noticeable around 80 MPH. otherwise im fine with it. i guess it all depends how much vibration will bother you. if you lived around here i would have let you test drive my car
