Default Spacers?

What do you guys think about running a 15mm spacer to change my bolt pattern from 5x100 to 5x114? I have an 04 sti, and i would like to do the hub swap but I need to do it in stages. Would you guys not take your car on the track with the spacers? Thanks for the help.

What do webbles do? They wobble.

'nuff said.

Edit: Oh yeah, and you will probably be changing those wheel bearings pretty soon if you do it.

the biggest issue would be to find wheel that would work with a 15mm offset.

you'd need to be in the upper 50s high 60s to really be worth the use.

and the funny part about that is, the wheels that are available in that offset are more expensive then it'd be to do a hub swap + new 5zigens
