Not used wheel spacers on my Impreza, but ended up getting some for my Daihatsu YRV when putting new wheels on. In the end I went for 5MM H&R hub centric spacers, these come with longer replacement bolts and as the spacers are hubcentric ones means that they a more balanced for the wheel. Not cheap though.

Yes, I have 3mm ones (I think) fitted to the rear due to me running 225 section tyres that just foul the struts. When I replace the tyres with 215 I'll be removing them.
As for them damaging wheel bearings - it's not usually an issue.
