Those will make your car shake, rattle and roll for sure and you won't like that.

If you install spacers, better get hubcentrics. They snap into the wheel and hub properly centered so they won't cause vibration or banance problems.

With spacers you will also need to install longer lug bolts.

I have to disagree with you. If they are well made, and they do look the part, and are true, you should not have any vibration or balance problems. reason being, the spacers are very close to the center of the hub. Vibration probs would only be noticeable if they were farther out on the wheel, causing centrifical force to throw the wheel out of balance.

Even though it may cost you more now, buy hubcentric spacers. It will save you money and the headache in the long run.

I bought my pair of new hubcentric 15mm spacers with 5x112 bolt pattern(no extra holes for multi makes)from a company on ebay for $60 shipped.

Thanks a lot, guys! I am checking now Eibach and H&R spacers; Eibach makes only 10mm and 15mm (only for rear axle); H&R makes a lot more sizes but I am having problems to understand the thickness of the spacers. Thanks again.
