Spacers?

Maybe I'm just odd, but I like the look of the 16" X-lites on my HB/B MCS. I don't like the et50 offset however. these should be out a little more.. maybe et 45 or 48, just a better stance and better look..

What are the pros/cons to running spacers? say 5mm or 3mm. Anything to watchout for? I'd think a few mm of extra room would work well w/ a 205/50 tire but don't want to thow things horribly wrong if spacers are bad.

You'll be fine with 3-5mm spacers but you will need equally longer wheel bolts to go with them.
