Webspokes can I use 5mm Spacers

Can I use 5mm spacers with the stock 17 inch Webspokes. Would this have any adverse affects on handling or increase vibration. I think the Stock offset is 48 so would this bring me to 43. Last question is will the stock studs and lugs work with a 5mm spacer and could the increase actually help handling.

I used 5mm spacers with my R98's with the stock lugs with no problems.Just make sure those lugs are torqued.

Where did you find them

The H & R 5mm spacers are not for the 14mm R56 they only work on 12mm R53. Where can I get some 5mm spacers designed for the R56
