The spacers are so the wheels fit. Evo/Sti wheels require one because of the recessions on the back side of the wheel. It's either use a small spacer or grind them down.

squrtle is right

i added the spacer to clear the hub, since the MR wheels have different hub size that will not clear the S. i don't think there are any performance gain.
