I know spacers is an easy way to slightly adjust wheel spacing, if you are
also replacing rims when you are doing this, it makes more sense to me to
get rims with a more positive offset. Then you don't need the spacers or in
most cases, longer studs.
I could go on to explain wheel offset, but it's already been written and
posted so here's a link.
