OE Wheels with 5mm spacers?
If I run the OE wheels with H&R 5MM spacers, would I have any problem with rubbing if I ran a 265 Kumho or Hoosier on the rear? I'm 100% stock suspension wise.

Hypothetical. Not running anything yet. It would be to increase the rear track slightly. I'm trying to ascertain whether or not I can run a 265 or should I stick to the 245. I don't want to roll my fenders or modify anything.

yeah 5mm = ~ 1/4" I've run them in the back to deal w/ rubbing on my slicks. I never needed spacers for 275 hooisers on stock wheels and I know spfinktermc ran 265 kumhos w/o spacers.

Are there any possible disadvantages with runnign spacers even if it's only 5mm? I've heard about ruining the car's scrub radius, wearing out the wheel bearings, and other things...
