Default Wheel Spacers, good or bad?

I'm interested in getting some wheel spacers for my rear, only about 5-10mm. is it safe to use wheel spacers? what are some concerns? also do you need to remove the stock wheel studs to put on the spacers?

If you are gonna used spacers, pay for the hubcentric spacers. These are spacers that are custom built for you wheel / vehicle combo. Once you go install them on your car, make sure that you are getting, at least, 5 to 6 full turns BEFORE you torque them down.

Good Luck,
